When he was a child this Canadian author's family took in a pair of owls. As a teen in Saskatoon, he wrote a coulmn about birds for the local newspaper. He studied zooloogy and never finished his degree but continued to be fascinated by nature and became a passionate environmentalist. He wrote a book about his dog Mutt (who had nightmares and needed goggles to ride in the family car) and about the owls his family adopted, but his most famous book, published in 1963, is about wolves and faulty government policy towards them. This is Farley Mowat, and his book is Never Cry Wolf.
