What if a person touched a shoe which stepped on a dog's saliva and then he had done handshake with me and i was having wound on my hand.will i get rabies?

No: No risk for rabies in above context. The wound should be watched closely otherwise until healed as superficial infections remain possible.

Rabies: This really sounds markely unlikely. I would not spend time worrying that this interaction will lead to Rabies infection
