Since it is a healthy pup, it may be not unsafe, but still wash the wound with soap and water for 5 minutes and apply antiseptic ointment. Keep it uncovered. If your pup has been vaccinated before, then it's fine, otherwise watch if he has any illness or dies within 10 days. If dog unvaccinated then attend rabies clinics where they may give human serum vaccine for immediate effect apart from animal vaccines in a course spread over a few days to a month.
