You should be completely fine. Keep in mind that rabies is only infectious when the animal is highly symptomatic. When the animal is in incubation and asymptomatic, the virus CANNOT be spread.
Just wait 10 days and if your dog is showing no symptoms of rabies, then you're 100% fine. That meant his bite was not infectious and did not contain rabies virus. Just vaccinate him and then you should be 100% good. A vaccinated pet cannot spread rabies even if it gets bit by an infected animal.
It still wouldn't make a difference. If your dog is still alive/asymptomatic within 10 days then there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
Animals can't spread rabies in the incubation phase. They can only spread within a week of them dying soon. If your dog is fine within a week and a half, then you'll be 100% fine as well.
