Yes. The vast majority of dogs do not have rabies, but any wound that breaks the skin, regardless of the cause, can become infected, and rabies is not the only disease that animals can transmit. Even ignoring infectious disease, a large dog can seriously wound a person in an attack and a few people have been killed outright.

How are rabies passed from person to person?
Rabies is typically not spread human-to-human, although if an infected human were to bite another human, it could happen. The much more common pathway for humans to get infected with rabies is to be bit by another mammal that is infected with rabies. In the United States, bats, raccoons and skunks are the most commonly identified mammal carriers; in places with variable dog control, feral dogs are commonly infected with rabies and tend to pass that infection on to humans.
