A 2,100-pound, eight-feet-long Duke Dog stands menacingly outside the Plecker Athletic Performance Center |

The latest addition to the Duke Dog family – one weighing more than a ton – took his place on campus just before the beginning of the 2005-2006 school year.
The statue was created by Lee Leuning, the South Dakota artist who also sculpted the James Madison statue that stands between Varner House and Logan Hall. The Madison statue has been on the JMU campus since 2002. A smaller version of the Duke Dog statue – one about two feet long – went on display in the Convocation Center earlier in 2005.
