Hamilton mourns the loss of his dog Roscoe

https://www.instagram.com/p/DPLzOwRDHqk/

"After four days on life support, fighting with every bit of strength he had, I had to make the hardest decision of my life and say goodbye to Roscoe. He never stopped fighting, right until the very end. I feel so grateful and honoured to have shared my life with such a beautiful soul, an angel and true friend. Bringing Roscoe into my life was the best decision I ever made, and I will forever cherish the memories we created together. Although I lost Coco, I have never been faced with putting a dog to sleep before, though I know my mum and many close friends have. It is one of the most painful experiences and I feel a deep connection to everyone who has gone through the loss of a beloved pet. Although it was so hard, having him was one of the most beautiful parts of life, to love so deeply and to be loved in return.

Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown Roscoe over the years. It has been so special to witness and feel.

He died on Sunday evening, 28th September in my arms."

I had to put mine down 2 months ago. He was 18 and 1 day. I was actually kinda proud of him.

Same with my 12 year old greyhound for bloat, it’s absolutely heart breaking.

At least he lived a really good life, the normal life expectancy for a bulldog maxes out at 10 and he was 12, that's like a human living into their mid to late 90s

I feel this. Have had to put a couple of family pets to sleep. Never easy.

It was always great seeing Roscoe trundling down pit lane on F1 days. He even got a cameo in the F1 film doing just that.
