America has talent Season 19 has come to an end and fans now know who ultimately took home the top prize. However, this runner-up captivated the audience every time they took the stage. As a result, many fans may still want to stay tuned to see where this exciting act goes next with the winds of a second place finish AGT behind them.

Spoilers for AGT Season 19.

A dancing dog took first place during AGT Season 18, leaving Roni and Rhythm with big shoes and paw prints to fill. From the start, they proved they were up to the task. After their audition, Simon Cowell said Rhythm was a better dancer than many of the human performers he had seen on the show.

After their first act (set to Sia’s “California Dreamin'”), they wowed us again and again, dancing to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the quarterfinals and Irene Cara’s “Flashdance…What a Feeling” in the semifinals. With every performance, Roni and Rhythm showed us all that sometimes the best way to follow your dreams isn’t to walk or run, it’s to dance.

Not long ago, Sagi had an office job that she hated, so she quit and went in search of a happier life. That decision led her to Rhythm and eventually to the AGT Final.

“When I met Rhythm, I suddenly felt like my life had a purpose,” Sagi said.

“We have one last chance to dance together on this incredible stage. I feel like the most blessed person in the world because I get to do the things I love most with my best friend and share it with the whole world. I don’t know if you can ask for more than that,” Sagi said before taking the stage AGT to play the final.

The show began quietly and motionlessly, the pair of them lit from above and Rhythm’s name written in diamonds on a starry sky in the background. As the music began, Rhythm spun perfect circles, weaving between Sagi’s legs and leaping over the top of his dance partners. He looks, as he dances, like the happiest dog on earth. He moves like a dog running happily through an open field, only this field is on the world stage.

A dancing dog could be a gimmick or a joke, but it isn’t. Rhythm dances as a human would. Instead, he dances in ways that only a dog can. Rhythm and Sagi perform moves that require speed and agility that only a dog can achieve. More than that, they require complete trust between both partners. Rhythm leaps into the air, confident that Sagi will be there to catch him on the other side, if they both hit their target. The result is an act that has to be seen to be believed. But even that may not be enough. “Is this a real dog?” asked host Terry Crews as the performance ended.

What the jury had to say about Roni Sagi and Rhythm’s final performance

“I mean, come on. I swear, in my opinion, that was perfection. I really did, it was,” Cowell began. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I’ve never seen an act this good. We’ve got a big problem. Now, every time we see a dog come on this stage, we’re just going to say, ‘Yeah, they’re not that good.’ Seriously, how do we top that?”

Sofia Vergara’s love for Rhythm extends even further than the dance floor. She was so charmed by his dancing ability that she used her time to make a plea.

“Roni, just give it to me, I’ll give you the million dollars,” Vergara said, hands outstretched. “You can come with me too, just give it to me, I’m begging you.”

“That dog really dances!” said Howie Mandel. “The big decision America is going to make for the million dollars is, ‘Do I vote for people or do I vote for puppies?'”

Ultimately, America voted for Richard Goodall to take home the prize, but Rhythm and Roni earned a close second place, not to mention a place in our hearts. The final of AGT Season 19 reminds us, to paraphrase an old saying: sing like no one’s listening and dance like you’re a dog.
