Lucy is the only part of Pierre Robert's personal life known to the public. The WMMR radio host kept his private life largely out of the media spotlight, and almost nothing is known about his parents or potential lovers. However, nearly every 93.3 WMMR listener and Pierre's fans knew about Lucy. She was Pierre Robert's beloved golden retriever, who became a beloved mascot at the Philadelphia radio station, 93.3 WMMR. Over the years, Lucy was frequently at the station with Robert and was a familiar and loved presence for listeners and rock stars alike.

In a 2011 interview with Philadelphia Magazine, Pierre Robert stated that he named his boat 'Lucy' after his furry friend. He began taking her to work when she started having orthopedic issues around 2010. Lucy had chiropractic, acupuncture, and water-therapy treatments for a few years due to her ailment. Around the second week of February 2012, Lucy fell very ill, as Pierre revealed during his conversation with The Inquirer. She passed away on February 17, 2012, at the age of 13 and a half, after suffering from multiple organ failure.

Pierre shared his grief regarding Lucy's passing during the interview with The Inquirer, calling dogs 'magical creatures'. He spoke about the animal's contributions to human life and lamented that dogs don't live long enough. He admitted that the clichés about dogs being man's best friend are absolutely true. Recalling that Lucy's time on earth was worthwhile, Pierre Robert mentioned:

"Dogs are magical creatures. The sad thing is that they don't live terribly long. Every cliché you ever hear, man's best friend, she was all that and more. She lived a great life."
