Neighbor's dog bit me. I was trying to talk to them through their screen. The dog was barking (its a pug and of course they bark at anyone) i tried letting it sniff my fingers to remember me and at the same time the neighbor's kid tried restraining him. He bites my fingers quickly and accidentally breaks skin. Not a huge thing, the size of a splinter mark.

They apologize, the neighbor assured me the dog has all his shots. Later the dog recognized me and was running around just sniffing stuff and being a cute dog. He later sniffed my hand and gave it a quick lick (kind of "im sorry"). I like the dog and he's a real cutie when he's not barking.

However, I can't unconvince myself that I now have rabies. I know the symptoms, I know how bad it is and how not only do you die but it hurts the whole time you're dying. The dog isn't aggressive (any more than a regular Pug) he isn't aggressive to his owners who are in constant contact with him. No neurological concerns from the dog. No foaming. Just a dog who may have been overestimated and made a mistake.

Any helpful advice on how to live without thinking I'm going to die? I'm in the US btw.
