The image, shared on social media, shows an elegant multi-tiered wedding cake. The base of the cake features a miniature Leo including a small part of the fondant that appears to have been bitten off next to it. The couple’s pet display became the biggest topic, diverting attention from the couple’s wedding.
Monegasque Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc shows his deep love for his dog. Leo appears in Leclerc’s social media posts because he travels to races with Leclerc, who lives a glamorous life that causes other drivers to make fun of him. After seeing the cake, fans were quick to celebrate the couple’s priorities. “That dog is everywhere,” one user wrote, a comment that racked up more than 1,500 upvotes. Another person said: “They love Leo so much he’s so cute.”
Pet owners experienced a strong emotional connection to the feeling. Many shared that they had done similar things for their own celebrations. One user posted a photo of their wedding cake, which also included figurines of their dogs. “I did the same thing with our dogs for my wedding!” she wrote. Another commenter joked about her own family dynamic: “As a mother of two Goldens (I was born to them), they are the center of my world too. My husband is a little to the side.”

Some fans used Leo as their primary method of accessing F1 content. “I know who Charles LeClerc is from Leo,” one person admitted. “He’s my favorite F1 driver by default, even though he doesn’t really care at all about the cars going full speed.” The user who had no knowledge of the couple found their gesture charming upon seeing the inclusion of their dog: “I don’t know who these people are, but I’m very happy that they include the dog in everything.”
