For years, Simon Cowell was known as the tough judge on several of America's most popular talent reality television shows. But it seems like the days of “Mean Simon” are behind us, and his sudden change of heart was on display during a recent episode of America's Got Talent. When Sara Carson and her lovable Collie, Hero, trotted onto the stage, they had no way of knowing that Simon would single-handedly save their future on the show.
Sara and Hero went through their pirate-themed routine which seemed to captivate everyone in the audience expect for Howie and Mel B. Simon was mesmerized by their routine – that's why he was so shocked to hear that two of his fellow judges were voting “no.” So, in a strange turn of events, Simon jumped on stage and did something totally unorthodox!
Simon held Sara as she cried and pleaded with Howie to change his vote, saying, “I felt Hero was almost singing along with the music. So I don't think [Mel B and Howie] quite understood what [Sara] just did…. I've never done this before, but I'm asking you on behalf of Sara and Hero – Mel? Trust me on this, I saw something you didn't see.” See if Howie changed his vote by pressing “play” on the video below!

The judges have absolutely no idea of the amount of hours they would have put into that routine, well done for getting through. What an amazing dog Hero is ❤

Howie and Mel B were both smiling and looked to be enjoying the performance and Mel B was also clapping at one point , then say no – unbelievable! Shame on them. I am so proud of Simon as this is totally out of character for him.

This dog and the young girl were FANTASTIC!!! Simon saw the work and pleasure that brought them to his show. I guess some people don’t recognize how talented they are.
