Am I safe from rabies after a puppy bite 10 years ago?

Question

My dog bit me when it was just 3-4 weeks old puppy. I did not take any vaccination/rabies shot at that time. Now it has been 10 years. My puppy has developed into a healthy and a happy dog. She got all her vaccines on time. But thinking about that bite makes me nervous. What should do i do now? I am loosing sleep over the thing. Pet's info: Dog | Bulldog | Female | spayed

Given that the bite was 10 years ago, if you were develop any illness from it such as rabies, symptoms would have appeared a long time ago. I would not lose any sleep over this, there is nothing to worry about :-)
