Season 18 of “America’s Got Talent” has ended, and the winners are dog trainer Adrian Stoica and his adorable pooch, Hurricane! Together, this human-canine duo took the competition by storm with their meticulously choreographed routines. According to My Modern Met, judge Heidi Klum called Hurricane “the smartest dog I’ve ever seen.” The team’s win earned them $1 million and a show in Las Vegas!
We’ve gotten to know Adrian and his four-legged companion pretty well throughout their time on “AGT,” but they’ve still got a trick or two up their sleeves we haven’t seen yet. Here are some of the most interesting things you probably didn’t know about this talented pair.
1. Adrian and Hurricane are the first dog act to win in quite some time.
According to America’s Got Talent Wiki, the previous pooches to take home the prize were Olate Dogs in Season 7.
2. They were in two other “Got Talent” shows before “AGT.”
Before appearing on “America’s Got Talent,” Adrian and Hurricane were contestants on both “Italia’s Got Talent” and “Romania’s Got Talent,” NBC tells us.
3. Hurricane is always super excited to perform!
Adrian shared an Instagram video of his four-legged bestie rushing to their rehearsal space to get started. He added in the caption that “she knows the way by heart.”
4. They are frisbee world champions.
NBC tells us that the pair have won the Disc Dog World Championships no less than six times!
5. Adrian has eight other dogs besides Hurricane.
The dog trainer recently told The U.S. Sun that he spends lots of time playing with all of his beloved pooches every day.
We’re wishing the best of luck to Adrian Stoico and Hurricane as they enter their next phase of stardom in Las Vegas!
