Lewis Hamilton shared the sad news that his dog, Roscoe, has passed away after battling a severe illness. The 12-year-old bulldog had been receiving treatment for pneumonia in the hospital.
In an Instagram post, Hamilton shared that Roscoe was in a coma and sustained by life support for four days. He described making “the hardest decision of my life” to allow him to pass peacefully. Hamilton confirmed that Roscoe died on Sunday evening while he held him.
Hamilton explained that this was the first time he’d ever had to say goodbye to a pet, and he also shared that he previously lost another bulldog named Coco back in 2020.
He shared, “After Roscoe spent four days on life support, battling with all his might, I faced the most difficult choice of my life and had to say goodbye.”
He fought with incredible strength until the very last moment. I’m deeply thankful and feel privileged to have known and shared my life with such a kind and wonderful person – a true angel and friend. Welcoming Roscoe into my life was the best choice I could have made, and I’ll always treasure the memories we made together.

Losing Coco was incredibly difficult, especially since this was my first time dealing with the heartbreaking decision of euthanasia. I know my mother and many friends have experienced this pain, and I feel a strong empathy for anyone who has lost a cherished pet. Despite how painful it was, I’m grateful for the joy he brought to my life – the chance to love and be loved so completely was a truly beautiful thing.
Lewis also shared: “I’m incredibly grateful for all the kindness and support everyone has given to Roscoe throughout the years. Seeing and feeling that has meant so much. He passed away on Sunday evening, September 28th, while I was holding him.”
