About The Book

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.

Raves and Reviews

“…Sharp brings wit and warmth to his portrayals of the animals and people of Hillsboro, Ohio. Good-natured, a little rambling, but never long-winded, these tales are as much for the fan of small-town living as they are for the animal lover, and Sharp himself is a winning raconteur.”

– Publishers Weekly

"As much as I enjoyed No Dogs in Heaven?, Dr. Sharp’s latest work might be even better. Without a doubt, my favorite chapter begins on Page 33 and is about a dog named Pierre, later to be known as Clipper.... The chapter on Clipper is worth the price of the book. Another gem by Highland County’s own Dr. Rob Sharp. Read it. You won’t be disappointed."
