Hypothetically, yes - ''if'' the dog was infected with rabies and ''if'' the virus has already traveled into the saliva and ''if'' the utensils were used to make raw or ready-to-eat food and ''if'' the virus was not destroyed by the enzymes and acid in your mouth and stomach, you ''might'' become infected with rabies this way. However, the much more common pathway is to simply be bitten by the dog who is infected with rabies. This is why it is extremely important to never try to pet an unknown or stray dog, and why you must keep your dog's vaccination against rabies current - it protects him, and it protects you as well.
