Thanks. I will talk with the owner tomorrow. If I do get written documentation that the dog is up on its shots, is there anything else I need to do, or is it pretty much clear, no danger?
No, there were no signs by the fence (where I was) about any dog at all or trepassing or anything. And the thing is, it's perfectly legal to go onto a person's property (at least in california) even with a no trepassing sign for political purposes (canvassing, handing out literature, etc.), so a dog should not go up to anyone who get near the property and bite them.
The bite wound healed significantly today. Is that a good sign or does it have nothing to do with any rabies status? I know there is little chance, but I agree that it's better to be safe.
