What does one do if he touches a dog and his hand is wet?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If he touches a dog and his hand is wet?

Answer:
It appears that, like anything else, he should wash it. The correct view is that it is impure. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The purification of the vessel if a dog has drunk from it is to wash it seven times.طهور الإناء إذا ولغ فيه الكلبُ غسله سبع مرات
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1:176
. However, if he touches it while it is dry, there is no harm.
Q: Does he wash his hand seven times?
A: This is the most apparent view; by analogy with the dog drinking from the vessel.
