This vegan bulldog, who is nine years old, has enjoyed great success in the advertising industry and currently makes an average of $700 per day.
Roscoe has been seen by fans following Lewis Hamilton closely throughout the crowded paddock and relaxing in the warm atmosphere of the Mercedes hospitality area. According to Hamilton, Roscoe has now established himself as a known face of a renowned modeling agency and he regularly faces off against an impressive lineup of ten to fifteen bulldogs, each waiting for the chance to represent a wide range of products.
