Lewis Hamilton Heartbroken Over Dog Roscoe’s Health Struggles: ‘He’s My Best Friend’
Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton has shared an emotional update about his beloved bulldog, Roscoe, who is currently fighting for his life after being hospitalized with pneumonia.
Roscoe’s Health Scare
On Friday, the seven-time world champion took to social media to tell fans that Roscoe had been admitted to the hospital after struggling to breathe.
Hamilton, 39, revealed that Roscoe was sedated for medical checks, but during the procedure, his heart stopped.
“Please keep Roscoe in your thoughts,” Hamilton wrote. “Roscoe caught pneumonia again and was struggling to breathe. He was admitted into hospital and sedated to calm him while they did checks on him and during the process his heart stopped. They managed to get a heartbeat back and now he’s in a coma. We don’t know whether he will wake from this. Tomorrow we’ll try to wake him up. I’m by his side and want to thank you all for your prayers and support.”
Veterinarians were able to revive him, but Roscoe remains in a coma as his family anxiously awaits the next update.
