For example: When one dog bites another dog there is a chance that the second dog might develop rabies. The likelihood of rabies occurring is much higher if the first dog:

• is infected with rabies
• is shedding rabies virus in its saliva
• the bite causes a break in the skin and the rabies virus can get into the tissues of the second dog

If the first dog is not shedding virus in its saliva then the bite may not cause rabies. If the bite does not break the skin then the virus may not get into the tissues of the second dog and it may not develop rabies. If the second dog is vaccinated against rabies then it may not develop rabies even if bitten by a rabid dog.
