Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
If the dog smelled and if it does not come in contact with dog's saliva there is no need of giving Rabies vaccine.
Any way to be more safe ,observe the dog for 10 days.
If it dies, bites several people or becomes more furious you may vaccinate your child otherwise there is no need.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
