Charles Leclerc reveals his undying love towards pet dog Leo
Charles Leclerc recently adopted a Labrador Retriever named Leo who is present at almost all races. Leo has even formed a close friendship with Lewis Hamilton’s pet dog, Roscoe. Now, Leclerc opened up on his undying love towards his pet dog and revealed the positive sides of him.

Leclerc noted that Leo was simply the ‘best dog’ and wasn’t even that stubborn. The 27-year-old insisted that his dog was super well-behaved in public and didn’t cause much ruckus. Due to this, the Monegasque loved his pet a lot. However, he accepted that since he was Leo’s father, he only noted the positives of owning the dog.
Leo is just the best. He’s not that stubborn; he is super well-behaved. I just love him.
Charles Leclerc told in an interview with Chivas Regal
Obviously, I am his dad, so I am only going to tell you the positives.

Leclerc will start to prepare for achieving even more high moments in the 2025 season. Ferrari has achieved a great performance improvement and might contend for either of the championships. Hence, time will tell about how the season pans out for the Monegasque, especially against his highly achieved teammate Hamilton.
