Hoyt was a trailblazing conservation and wildlife advocate who advocated for an end to killing skunks and raccoons, and argued, decades ahead of his time, how important coyotes were to controlling rodent populations. In 1934, in reference to the decline in wildlife at Topanga, Hoyt stated: "Only at twilight and dawn can you see any more the coming and going, the stalk and frolic of the few remaining wild denizens of wood and field." This is his first book about a wild fox that became a member of the Hoyt family.
