Second thought! Mongoose? Most definitely.

Yeah, he's a good fit with any of those small, tenacious animals:

Mongoose

Honey badger

Polecat

Piranha

He's the man of a million nicknames at this point.

Thanks as ever! And—dooood, Fuji is NOTHING like a “goose.” 🤗🤫🤗

I beg to differ. I have to walk by gangs of Snow Geese all the time up here and they are mean, man.

I have seen some mean geese, I will admit. Maybe it’s just the vibes of “goose” for me? Mongoose would def be appropriate for Fuji, but every time I watch him the first image that pops into my mind is that of a pitbull. I don’t know how many folks have actually seen pitbulls fighting (and please don’t take this as my condoning dog fights—I’m totally against them), but there is almost no difference between his tactics and theirs. Whatever the case he is one ferocious man!

I suggested the Goose nickname. I think of a goose flapping their wings super big to look more imposing and scare off larger animals. I got that feeling from tiny Fuji today especially with how he shoved out someone 100lbs heavier.
