Related: About this forum"WINNER" Ashleigh and Pudsey - Britain's Got Talent 2012 Final
Embedding has been disabled, you will need to watch on Youtube.
The teenager trained her pet to jump, dance on his hind legs, meander through her legs and even got him to run across the judges table.
Pudsey - a border collie, bichon frise and Chinese crested cross - obviously won over fearsome judge Simon Cowell, who admitted he has a soft spot for dogs.
He said the pair were one of his "favourite ever acts".
After their performance, he joked: "I actually think Pudsey is training you now.
"I adore both you. You you have got better and better as the competition has progressed and to do what you did in such a short time is a miracle."
Comedian panellist David Walliams told the teen: "I don't know how long it takes to train Pudsey but it is the third original act we have seen from you which is extraordinary.
"The nation has fallen in love, not just with Pudsey but with you too."
Miss Butler joked that Pudsey had become "very diva-ish" during the last week, demanding steak dinners.
The pair won £500,000 and will perform their routine at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen.
The pair beat off stiff competition from dance troupes, synchronised swimmers and a Welsh choir.
Their win came as a shock to bookies who placed pop-opera duo Jonathan and Charlotte, aged 17 and 16 respectively, as the hot favourites.

This is cute, but this is the winner?
I did enjoy watching it, but I am surprised that there wasn't any greater talent than a dog act. A very good dog act, but a dog act nonetheless.
