The French bulldog has been named America's most popular dog breed for the second year in a row, with close to 98,500 registrations in 2023. Despite its popularity, the breed remains controversial due to health issues associated with its short snouts, and its high demand has led to thefts, with the average price ranging between $1,500 to $3,000. Notably, Lady Gaga's stolen French bulldogs were returned, leading to charges against the perpetrators.

French Bulldog puppy Tyson spontaneously regrew his jaw after surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, marking a first in veterinary medicine. The surgery, led by Cornell University veterinarians, removed a significant portion of Tyson's jaw, but his recovery defied all odds as his mandible almost completely regrew.

A 3-month-old French bulldog named Tyson had a portion of his lower left mandible removed due to cancer, but his jaw spontaneously regrew, marking the first reported case of its kind for dogs. The regrowth was attributed to the preservation of a significant amount of periosteum during surgery, containing blood vessels and nerves crucial for bone growth. Tyson's new mandible is nearly as functional as the original, and he has since undergone successful cleft palate surgery, leading a full and active life. This case demonstrates the possibility of complete bone regeneration in young dogs with similar diagnoses.
