The Winner Of "America's Got Talent"...A Dog? Quiz

Answer: Hurricane

Adrian Stroica and his beloved Border Collie, Hurricane, won season 18 of "America's Got Talent". A French dance group called Murmuration finished third and singer Anna DeGuzman was the runner-up. Stroica's act includes Hurricane doing a series of choreographed tricks set to hilarious acting scenes.

Border Collies are consistently ranked as the most intelligent of all dog breeds. So it's not too surprising that both of these incredible "America's Got Talent" all-star dogs are Border Collies.

Answer: Rhythm

Roni Sagi was born in Israel and is bilingual and speaks both Hebrew and English. Roni's ethnicity was never focused on the television show but she is proud of her Israeli roots. Roni rescued Rhythm at two and a half years and was inspired by Anastacia Beaumont and her dog Salsa who competed on "Britain's Got Talent". Sagi trained Rhythm at her dance studio and dog training facility called Keta Tov.

"America's Got Talent" routinely gives out a special Golden Buzzer during each episode. The Golden Buzzer doesn't earn you any money but does advance you all the way to the semi-finals.

In what some considered an upset, Goodall won season 19.
