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.

Ia am giving rabies shot but you like to stop it because your dog has no rabies at all?

I just got my dogs shots updated the other day and the vet said that its not uncommon to not give dogs a rabies vaccine. The only reason this is allowed is if you ar living in a non rural area that hasn't had many reports or outbreaks of rabies. However, it is always best to check with your vet.
