We met Pete in a gift shop in California (true story). He wasn’t much of a talker, but he made us smile. We offered him a job as the official stuffed mascot of The FISH! Philosophy. Pete loves to sit on desks and computers, and wears a stylish label with the FISH! practices to help you remember them. Pete comes in a 4-pack (joined by his brother and two sisters, each of whom is also named Pete; it’s a family name).
