The Athens - Oconee Junior Women's Club, that's who.
As you wander around Athens-Clarke County you will very likely run into some highly decorative and brightly colored BullDawgs. They have been placed throughout the county as a mobile public art exhibit showcasing the talent of several local artists as well as featuring Georgia's favorite canine, the BullDawg.
This mobile outdoor art museum project, We Let the Dawgs Out, has, at any one time, up to 36 bulldawg statues on display at various locations throughout the county. While most of them can be found in the downtown area there a several that are in other venues throughout the county. Manu can be visited at Southeast Clarke Park. Thurston LaDonnahue III stands watch at the intersection of Barnett Shoals Rd.-Gaines School Rd and Greencrest Dr.
Each bulldawg statue is 44" tall, 70" long and 33" wide. There is a plaque between the front feet indicating the BullDawg's name, the artist and the sponsoring patron. Pictures of all 36 dawgs can be found in a gallery on the project website. Click on the thumbnail photos to get full size pictures.
