Can I get rabies through indirect exposure?

A puppy licked my left hand. There is a small open wound on my right thumb. Approximately five minutes after being licked, I washed both of my hands together. Although by then dog's saliva had dried off, but I'm still wondering if there's still a risk because I washed both of my hands together?
