Weird Dog statue in Donnie Darko
I was rewatching Donnie Darko recently. At the high school Donnie attends there is this weird dog statue there. Youtube Clip of dog statue. Super creepy looking and strange stance on it.
I was wondering if it was a real statue. I was thinking maybe the high school it was filmed at had that statue there. But from my cursory Google searches the movie was filmed at Loyola High School, on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles. I didn't see a statue in any searches for that high school.
Anyway I was wondering if there was a story behind that statue. It just looks so weird. I guess maybe they wanted it to look weird since the movie is weird. I'm just mostly looking for any information about the dog statue and why it exists.

Is Donnie Darko just a dream?
While the movie's premise is not about dreaming, Kelley has used elements of dreams to establish the utterly strange, intentionally inconceivable plot of Donnie Darko.What was the point of Donnie Darko?
The point is that this universe is highly unstable and dangerous, because it will eventually collapse in on itself. All of the other characters in this movie, save for Donnie, are the Manipulated Living or the Manipulated Dead; their sole purpose is to help or hinder Donnie on his quest to save the Primary Universe.What is Frank in Donnie Darko?
James Duval plays Frank, an enormous imaginary rabbit who informs Donnie that the world is going to end in 28 days. Even in the earliest drafts of the script, Frank was always a rabbit. The design may have come to him in a dream, Kelly says, or maybe subconsciously from his longtime love of Watership Down.Donnie Darko - The Director's Cut (Película Completa) (Activar Sub. Español)
