PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: A new champion has been crowned on 'AGT.' After weeks of heated competition, trainer Adrian Stoica and his dog Hurricane were proclaimed the Season 18 winners on the much-anticipated NBC finale on September 27.

As exciting as the news may seem, many 'America's Got Talent' viewers rushed to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the outcome.

The dog trainer and his loyal canine buddy won a $1 million grand prize and a headline spot in the 'AGT' Presents Superstars Live performance at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Adrian and his border collie were a big favorite from the start of their 'AGT' tour.

The dynamic duo, who have performed together all over the world, put on a show of several astounding maneuvers set to Meghan Trainor's 'Better When I'm Dancing' for their audition.

They wowed the judges once more during the live event, when they did a routine set to Smash Mouth's song 'I'm a Believer' and Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.' They garnered standing ovations and universal acclaim.

Then, in the season finale on September 26, the team pulled out all the stops for a performance set to Queen's 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love,' and even enlisted the aid of Vergara.
