Critics Review
I felt the Licks of Love on every page… It’s quite simply an uplifting read, with bits of drama and tears thrown in– Dana Gillespie
I loved The Lick of Love. It’s often insightful, sometimes hilarious, frequently filthy - I’m a cat person, but if anything were ever to convince me to get a dog, it would be this * Joanne Harris *

… wise and perceptive, and funny and moving. Each dog you meet marks a different chapter of your life and Julian writes about it so BEAUTIFULLY * Joanna Cannon *
Clary does write so beautifully about his dogs. He describes Albert as “compact and muscular, with short legs that turn outwards like the balletic supports of a Queen Anne footstool” – Deborah Ross * The Times *
Those of us of a certain age remember Fanny the Wonder Dog, but the caustic comic brings his other canine companions vividly to life too * Telegraph *
