There is a possibility that you could develop tetanus, which is also called lockjaw. This is an excruciatingly painful condition that can also be lethal; the shot is generally less than $20 at your local health department clinic and the side effects are minimal. Also, depending upon the dog, I would be concerned about getting rabies post-exposure prophylaxis - if the dog was not current on his/her rabies vaccine, there is a risk of you becoming infected with rabies.
