You cannot test the dog, take it to the veterinarian.
The only available test to determine for sure if a dog has rabies is to send the brain to a lab for testing.
If a dog actually has rabies, there is nothing you can do for it. You need to call the pound as soon as possible before he transfers the virus to people or other animals. A dog with rabies is incredibly dangerous. There is a rabies vaccine, but if a dog does not have the vaccine and catches the virus, there is no cure at that point.
Yes you can get rabies.
Absolutely, if the body is relatively fresh and the rabies can still feed off of it.
Rabies can only occur if your dog is not vaccinated against rabies and if the dog that bit your dog has rabies. If it does not have rabies then your dog will not have rabies. But if you're still in doubt, see your Veterinarian.
Why not? North Carolina is in the U.S., and rabies can be a problem in many states.

No. A dog can only get rabies from contact with a rabies-infected animal.
Yes, a person given anti-rabies treatment may experience side effects such as pain at the injection site, headache, nausea, and fatigue even if the dog does not have rabies. It is important to follow medical advice and complete the full course of treatment to prevent rabies infection from developing.
Because the rabies shot is a live virus, no. This could increase the rate of your dog getting sick from rabies. Get your dog tested, then if it has rabies, get it rabies injections.
