A canine act reached the semi-finals when champions Adrian Stoica and his dog Hurricane performed again on Wednesday’s episode of America’s Got Talent.
The Season 19 results episode followed Tuesday’s performances by the first round of quarter-finalists. Only three of the remaining ten acts were able to advance to the semi-finals, following viewers’ votes.
Roni Sagi and her talented dog Rhythm were the final act to perform during the hour-long results episode, hosted by 56-year-old Terry Crews.
Terry asked Roni how it felt to reach the semi-finals, after he thanked dance group Hypers Kids Africa for their participation after they were eliminated.
“Awesome. So happy,” Roni replied as she held Rhythm.

Terry also asked 51-year-old Heidi Klum, a longtime jury member, if she had anything to say to Roni and Rhythm.
“You were absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to see you again. Congratulations,” Heidi said as Roni and Rhythm were joined on stage by fellow semi-finalists singer Richard Goodall and country group Ashes & Arrows.
The results episode also saw the triumphant return of Season 18 champions Adrian Stoica and his awesome dog Hurricane.
AGT judge and franchise founder Simon Cowell, 64, personally called to invite them to perform and Hurricane took his call.
The Border Collie (female) and Romanian-born Adrian take to the stage with a fun dance routine to the Spice Girls’ hit Spice Up Your Life.
Hurricane stole the show during the humorous display that showcased their strong bond that made them AGT champions.
After their performance, Terry playfully asked Hurricane if Adrian was holding her back and she responded with a perfectly timed bark.
Adrian told us that it was Hurricane’s birthday and that she had a new little sister named Viva.

Terry asked Hurricane if she was Adrian’s best friend and Hurricane barked her approval.
“Simon, how nice is it to see these two again?” Terry asked.
“The best, honestly, Terry,” replied Simon, who was a champion of canine acts when he was a judge on the NBC program.
In addition to Hypers Kids Africa, Arshiya, Flewnt and Inkabee, Philip Lewis, LIV Warfild, Los Osos High School and Attraction Juniors were also eliminated in this episode.
Howie Mandel, 68, offered words of encouragement to the Attraction Juniors as they left.
“I want to tell you, Attraction Juniors, that you have done an amazing job. In season 19, you have changed your life to get this far in this competition. You have changed your career. It will never be the same for you and I predict great things for you in the future. Thank you so much for being a part of this,” he said.
Sofia Vergara, 52, achieved the Golden Buzzer for the first time during the live shows on Tuesday’s episode, sending Hakuna Matata Acrobats straight through to the final.
