Adding a heartbreaking note, a reminiscent Hamilton wrote on his Instagram post:
“I will miss her snoring and how happy she was always to see me. She was only 6, healthy, and happy. Naturally, my heart is broken but I hope she’s in a better place”
Coco was born with several health problems
Lewis Hamilton adopted Coco from the same breeder from whom he got Roscoe. The breeder, however, told Hamilton that she had several problems at birth, which meant she couldn’t live up to a very old age. He even told the Mercedes driver that she should be put down at a young age, because affording all the things she would need was practically impossible.
Nevertheless, Hamilton revealed how Coco went through a lot to become the little bundle of joy she turned out to be. Three years have passed, but Hamilton and Roscoe still miss Coco every single day.
