F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton Bids Farewell to Beloved Dog Roscoe, Deeply Saddened
I was heartbroken to hear this news as well. It's the sad news that 7-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has had to say goodbye to his canine companion of 12 years, Roscoe. Shall we share the story of Roscoe's final moments, who was frequently featured in Netflix's 'Drive to Survive'? 🥺
Hello everyone! Today, I have some truly sorrowful news to share. Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton, beloved by many, has had to part with his long-time canine companion, Roscoe. I was incredibly heartbroken when I came across this news. 😥
Roscoe, a Cherished Companion for 12 Years
While Lewis Hamilton is a superstar with the illustrious title of a 7-time F1 World Champion, he, like us, had a cherished family member. This was his beloved bulldog, Roscoe, who was 12 years old.
Roscoe had been by Hamilton's side both on and off the F1 circuits ever since the driver adopted him in the UK in 2013. He became a familiar face to many fans, especially through his appearances in the popular Netflix series 'Drive to Survive'. 📺 As if a member of the family, Roscoe was so deeply integrated into Hamilton's life that his absence will likely be felt profoundly.
A Sudden Farewell and a Difficult Decision
According to reports, Hamilton was unable to participate in tire testing with Ferrari last Friday. The reason was that Roscoe had contracted pneumonia. At the time, Hamilton expressed deep concern, stating, 'I don't know if Roscoe will be able to overcome this hurdle.'
And finally, on Monday, Hamilton shared the news of his final moments with Roscoe via Instagram. He wrote, 'He fought with all his might, relying on life support for four days, but ultimately, I had to make the hardest decision of my life. I had to say goodbye to Roscoe.' 💔
Hamilton's account continued: 'He never stopped fighting until his last breath. I am so grateful and honored to have shared my life with such a beautiful soul, an angel, and a true friend.' Every word he spoke conveys his deep love and sorrow for Roscoe.
