F1 star Lewis Hamilton is accompanied around the world by his dog Roscoe during his race weekends. Roscoe is a normal face in the paddock and one of the most popular characters in the Silver Arrows garage. He has been part of the Hamilton family since 2013. Lewis brought another Bulldog into the family that same year – Coco.

At the time, Hamilton even asked for a pass from former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone to bring the two bulldogs into the paddock. Well, Bernie obviously gave the go-ahead as Roscoe (and Coco) have been seen at many races since then. Unfortunately, Coco died of a heart attack in 2020.
Roscoe has an Instagram page and enjoys a popular following. He currently has at least 420,000 followers, including F1 driver Pierre Gasly and others. It may surprise many readers, but Roscoe also makes good money from his modeling appearances.

How much does Lewis Hamilton’s beloved dog Roscoe earn?
Fans can clearly see Roscoe’s popularity from its social media followers. Roscoe has been a model since 2018 and, according to Lewis, earns $ 700 a day with his model gigs.
“Roscoe is now part of a modeling agency and has auditions, he’s going to compete against ten or 15 different bulldogs, they are going to need a bulldog for a product,” said Lewis, as reported by Silver Arrows.
His career does not come as a surprise as both of Roscoe’s parents are dog show masters themselves. “He gets $ 700 a day, it’s ridiculous, and he gets his treat, he loves it,” he added.

Roscoe had also recently switched to a completely vegan diet, which suffered from several health problems.
“It changed his life. He no longer has any breathing problems. His throat is no longer restricted, he no longer overheats as it used to and loves to run. He also has no allergy problems. ”
“He’s like a puppy again! It’s been amazing to see these changes at Roscoe and I’m so grateful to share it, ”said Lewis.
