Answer:
To inform the reader about huskies and to persuade the reader that huskies are interesting.
Explanation:
One of the author's purpose is to inform the reader about huskies. We can see this when he mentions how they are the outcome of natural selection and how they have adapted and survived up to these days.
The second purpose is to persuade the reader that huskies are interesting. We can see at the beginning of the excerpt where he says, "But the husky is far from uninteresting" then, he proceeds to tell us about why it is interesting, which is due to its natural selection and the characteristics that it has.
