The Bull in the Darkness and the One-Eyed Dog

Dr. Robert Sharp tells remarkable, highly readable, and true stories of a country vet’s encounters with animal patients of all kinds, their equally unusual if not unique owners, and the flavorful rural settings they inhabit. The Bull in the Darkness and the One-Eyed Dog is a collection of his most memorable country animal cases—many funny, some almost unbelievable, and some thought-provoking.

A lifelong Ohio resident, Rob Sharp received his A.B. in Zoology and M.A. in Aquatic Ecology from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He served in the U.S. Air Force for the next five years as a KC-135 instructor/evaluator navigator with the 17th Bomb Wing of Strategic Air Command, and is a Vietnam veteran. He left the Air Force to attend The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, received his D.V.M. degree in 1979, and has practiced in southern Ohio since graduation.
