Among the many tributes he received, one stood out. “This LEGO portrait of Roscoe really touched me,” Lewis Hamilton wrote in a heartfelt message shared online. “The level of detail is incredible, and I can only imagine how much time it took to make.

It’s still very painful and will always be, but all the kindness is helping me a lot. I don’t know how to thank you enough. Many of you have also lost pets, so I know that wherever Roscoe is, he has lots of friends. He’s surrounded by love and good energy, just like he was when he was alive.”
