Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
As you have already taken Rabies vaccine as per the advice of your doctor, nothing to worry.
To be doubly sure please find out whether the poppy is alive or not.
If the puppy is safe then you are also safe.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
