My sister got a new pup so I got to spend the weekend playing with 4 month old Zero. I brought him a donut.

Breed is an Olde English Bulldogge:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olde_English_Bulldogge
Basically using cross breeding to resurrect a bulldog breed from before inbreeding ruined them.
"The result was an athletic breed that looks similar to the bulldogs of 1820, but with a friendly temperament, fewer health issues, and with longevity reaching into the teens. U.S. researchers have said the Olde English Bulldogge is a "viable candidate" as an outcross on which to rebuild the Bulldog; a breed that genetic studies have suggested is so inbred that it "cannot be returned to health without an infusion of new bloodlines."[4]"
Good looking pup! I had to put my three-legged OEB down last month. Rodney made it to 15. Hope Zero has a long happy life
15 is a damn good run for any dog, bulldog or otherwise!
