Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Clean the wound.
2. Antiseptic dressing. Anti-tetanus vaccination
3. Identify whether the dog is vaccinated or not. If not, Vaccinate the person. Systemic antibiotics maybe necessary depending on size of wound.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
