The pair from California have risen to fame for performing at NBA games around the country under the name of Christian & Scooby. 

Scooby is the original dog Christian performed with but is now retired. 

Their impressive halftime performance has gained thousands of views and shares on social media.

The original duo competed on America’s Got Talent in seasons 2 and 9 and stunned the judges with their tricks. 

During their second run on the show, the pair made it to to the Top 12. 

In an interview with PEOPLE, Christian said: ‘Percy is five years old and it is such a treat to perform with him. He loves it, and a lot of the tricks that we’ve developed, like when he walks on a basketball, he actually just gave me the idea by playing around.’ 

As far as the pair’s future, Christian says he has no ultimate goal for what they want to achieve but welcome any exposure that will show off their talents. 

‘I know that I love being on camera and having people see our talent, so I guess you could say that for now our goal is to continue being seen by people around the world and ultimately hopefully get our opportunity to be on the big screen or be the face or a commercial campaign.’
