The husky is heavier by 7 ounces.

Explanation:

We know that #1 "pound" = 16 "ounces"#

Multiply the Labrador retriever's weight by #16# to convert it to ounces

#48"pounds"*16"ounce"=768"ounces"#

Now we know the Husky is heavier than the Labrador.
To find out how much heavier he is just subtract the larger weight from the smaller weight.

#775"ounces"-768"ounces"=7"ounces"#
