Season 19 of America's Got Talent has finally made it to its much-awaited Quarterfinals, which will showcase every selected act of the season, including the Golden Buzzer winners.

Episode 9 was released on August 13 and saw a mix of 11 acts, including the Golden Buzzer winner Liv Warfield and Richard Goodall. Among these was also the dog act Roni Sagi & Rhythm, Rhythm being the name of the dog.

Following in the footsteps of the dog dance duo Adrian & Hurricane from the last season, Roni Sagi & Rhythm also made the audience root for them. Their performance on Bohemian Rhapsody made Heidi say that he danced better than humans, while Sofia called them "one of the most amazing acts".

Their neat performance and energy got the duo four yeses from all the judges. Fans of America's Got Talent took to X after to comment how much they adored the dog's performance.

"Rhythm the dog is an amazing dance partner. Dances better than me that is for sure," another one wrote.
"How the hell did someone outdo Hurricane. Insane. Great dog act," one comment read.
"That Dog is INCREDIBLE!!! #AGT I can't believe what I just saw!!!" another comment read.

Some America's Got Talent fans pointed out that they loved the act especially because other acts in the episode weren't up to the mark.

"I don't want a repeat of last year with a dog act winning, but considering how tonight is going this is one of the better ones," one X user wrote.
"The Dog act on #AGT was cool but anything would've been a spark after sitting through the flaming Michael Straham that kept dropping the baton...," another user wrote.
"That dog nailed the "I just killed a dude and I'll do it again" look," one fan said.
"That is one talented dog," another fan said.

Other performances on America's Got Talent season 19 episode 9

All the performances in the quarterfinal episode were the best performers narrowed down from the auditions. Out of the 11 acts, Terry explained that only three would proceed to the finals.

The first act on America's Got Talent was the 12-year-old rapper duo Flewnt and Inkabee. The judges loved their performance but Simon thought they'd have to separate at some point. Next was the shadow group, Attraction Juniors. All the judges thought their performance was better than the auditions, except Howie.

Golden Buzzer winner Liv Warfield performed a song that Prince himself wrote for her. All four judges loved it. Next up was Hypers Kids Africa and their dance routine had all four judges up and dancing. Then came the rock band Ashes and Arrows. Howie hadn't liked their audition but this time he thought they "rose to the occasion".

Another performance Howie wasn't too keen on while in auditions was that of the Los Osos High School dance group. They weren't able to change Howie's mind because he thought they performed like a football half-time show. Hakuna Matata Acrobatic was the next to go, and won the only Golden Buzzer from Sofia, going straight to the finals.

Baton twirler Phillip Lewis went next. While juggling three batons lit with fire, he mistakenly dropped them, but the judges didn't seem to mind, because to them his ambition was more important. Then came Roni Sagi & Rhythm, their act was praised by all four judges. Contortionist Arshiya was praised after her scary act. Simon said she should be hired for the next exorcism movie.

The last act on America's Got Talent episode 9 was Richard Goodall, who won the Golden Buzzer from Heidi. His performance ended with a standing ovation from the people in the auditorium and the judges.


Quarterfinal results of America's Got Talent come out in episode 10, which will air on August 14, at 8 pm ET, on ABC.
