Read the excerpt from “Husky-The Wolf Dog of the North.” [Huskies] are superb travelers. Coming back light, the Circle City freighters thought nothing of making single runs of seventy or eighty miles. Fierce brutes though they be, the closest attachments often spring up between them and their masters, and when a man possesses a good dog or team he is not slow in bragging of it.

The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to

give the reader information about huskies.
tell a story about a character that is a husky.
persuade the reader to purchase a husky.
argue that bragging about a husky is okay.
