It could be a problem if you were bitten or the dog was bitten.....and either of you needed treatment.
My first response would be to call 911, both times that I saw a rabid animal, children were nearby.
Then they would recommend that you the human get the rabies vaccine treatment, they may not accept titers or outdated rabies vaccines for the dog. So, who knows how far they would take it.
Of course if you live in the city you don't have too worry about these things.
I also have coyotes in my area and they don't look very healthy.
Of course I have a 6 foot high fence, that helps.
