He probably grew up with both. An excerpt from the November 10 1996 Toronto Sun article, "Gordon Lightfoot: The Way I Feel...." by Jean Sonmor includes this mention:
"Gord Lightfoot will be 58 next Sunday, Nov. 17, but he has more energy and exuberance than anybody in this kitchen and that includes Ivory, his four-month-old Hungarian sheep dog."
I think that's the only specific reference I remember to animals he may have owned but it's not something that would come up in interviews anyway.
