Sir Lewis Hamilton was asked what Roscoe has taught him about himself, here's his wonderfully open answer 🥹
"I think, well, I mean, I grew up with dogs. So when I was born, my parents had a Labrador. He was like three years old. But in almost all my baby pictures, he's lying next to me. So he was really my guardian angel. And then my mum, she's always had dogs. So the saddest day of my life, when I was younger, the first traumatic kind of experience was losing him when I was, I think I was six. And I never got to say goodbye. And then, as I said, my mum's always had dogs that would always be around them."
"And I love animals. That's really why I decided to go plant-based. When I decided I was going to get my own dog, everyone in my family was like, my brother and his girlfriend at the time, they're like, no way, the dog will not be able to live because you're travelling so much. And I hate when someone says I can't do something. But I think what the great thing about having a pet, and I think they're utilising that a lot in, for example, I went to visit the prison. And in prison reform, some of the inmates are having to spend time with the dog. And they're learning like unconditional love that they never perhaps experienced when they were growing up. So I think that's really what you learn. You learn about a lot of empathy."
"You feel just love like that you could not get from anywhere else, really. Maybe you get it from your mum, but, you know. And they bring such happiness to you. Every day, when you leave, when you get up, when you go and have your walks, they're always wanting to play. And they're just the most joyous beings in the world. So for me, my house is really quiet now because I don't have a Roscoe or Coco in my life."
"But I still have his bed and his toys everywhere. So he's still very much a part of the furniture. But yeah, I feel very, very grateful that I've grown up with pets. And if I was to ever have kids, I would encourage anyone out there to have a pet in the house. Because it really does bring you a lot of warmth."

Fuck you @hasanthehun
Shock collaring that innocent dog for no reason just cause he wants to walk around? That’s not a fucking prop for your stream background that’s a living being. You’re a sick fuck.
