Meaning and background
The story behind Mozzie
Mozzie is recorded as a variant of mossie, and the linked dictionary entry identifies that word as Australian usage for a mosquito. Following the explicit link matters: the meaning is supported through the source's own relationship rather than guessed from the letters. A dog owner may intend a tiny-insect joke or another personal reference. The dictionary establishes a regional word association, not a traditional personal-name etymology.
