Olivia Befus, a 17-year-old dog trainer from Midland, Michigan, and her Papillon, Zeke, are heading to the semifinals of America’s Got Talent.
Befus and Zeke earned enough viewer votes to advance, turning Befus’s childhood dream of performing on the show into reality. The duo has built their act through years of training, with routines centered on tricks, timing, and the special bond between trainer and dog.
Now, Olivia and Zeke are preparing a brand-new routine for the semifinals. Befus says the most important thing is making sure her dogs are having fun.
