Musket

Meet Musket the official friend of the Mountaineer Mascot! You’ll see him around campus, usually hanging out with the Mountaineer or playing fetch with his friends. Like most dogs, he likes going for walks on the Rail Trail and getting his belly rubbed.

In the spring of 2012, West Virginia University worked with elementary and middle schools across the state of West Virginia to name the Mountaineer’s friend. Of the 190 different names from 40 schools, WVU selected “Musket” as the name of the official friend of the Mountaineer.

Musket was introduced in the book, “Let’s Go Mountaineers!” in time for the holiday season in 2012. The plush Musket hit stores in the summer of 2013. A new book called “Musket’s Big Adventure” was released in November of 2015.

“Musket’s Big Adventure” is available at the following locations:
