Roscoe
Lewis Hamilton has a vegan bulldog named Roscoe. Hamilton, who’s also vegan, told Vanity Fair that shifting his senior bulldog’s diet to vegan in 2020 has made him “like a puppy again” and improved his allergies, joints, and breathing. With Roscoe already living several years past the average English Bulldog lifespan, it seems to be working! The son of two champion show dogs, Roscoe is also a model who is said to earn $700 per photo shoot. Hamilton has even frozen Roscoe’s champion sperm so he can continue to breed him!
In July 2024, after much hype from fans, Roscoe finally met Charles Leclerc’s dog Leo!
Coco
Along with Roscoe, Lewis Hamilton had a rescued English Bulldog named Coco he adopted in 2014. Coco was going to be put down due to her health, but Hamilton saved her. Coco passed away in his arms from a heart attack in June 2020 at the age of 6. Coco had health problems throughout her life, with Hamilton considering her lucky to have enjoyed the life that she had.
