The America’s Got Talent judges have seen their fair share of talented pets over the years, but none as incredible as Falco the Border Collie!

Austria native Lukas and his trusty nine-year-old pooch instantly won the judges over from the minute they stepped out on stage with their love for each other.

The duo then performed a "freestyle routine", showing off their moves to Kenny Loggins' 1984 classic, 'Footloose', with Falco nailing every trick in his fast-paced dance.

He sported some fancy footwork, tied his owner up with a lasso, and even jumped on top of his back!

Howie Mandel, Julianne Hough, and Gabrielle Union were mesmerised and even not-easily-impressed Simon Cowell was seen smiling!

Union gushed: "That was absolutely awesome. I have five dogs at home and knowing how much work goes into training a dog just to do basic obedience and he’s doing all kinds of tricks? I love you. I love Falco. Great job!"

Cowell then told the contestant: "He has amazing personality, but also, importantly so do you, because both have got to work. I think this is the best dog act we have this year."

Hough added as Falco left the stage: "It was amazing. I thought it was fun. I thought it was energetic. It’s OK, Falco… he knows how good he is. He doesn’t need to hear the comments. I loved it."

This dog sure knows how to cut loose!
