Hi

welcome to healthcaremagic

no it is not safe , you need to get anti rabies vaccines(because vaccination in dog leads to nearly 50 % immunity only ), as well as Rabies immunoglubulin depending upon severity of bite , apart form this you need immunization for tetanus. Do clean the wound immediately with plenty of water followed by local application of betadine liquid and antibiotics to prevent infection
