If you get bit by a dog you need to go and a tetanus injection from the Doctor

Come on...any first aid will do. Call 911 first. That is the first they teach you in first aid training. Clean the wound the somthing to sterilize it, and apply pressure for bleeding. Wait for the paramedics.

dog spray/pepper spray.

call 911, get to a dr. and get a tetnus shot immediately.
while waiting for 911 to show, clean the area with peroxide or alcohol & bandage if you can.
