I don't think Parker would have ingested enough garlic just by licking your fingers to get a toxicity. I personally would not worry too much about it. I suggest you monitor him closely for any abnormal symptoms and get him to your vet if you see anything. Here is a link to an article about garlic toxicity in dogs. Of course if you are worried you could always take him to your vet for an exam now. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/garlic/
