Bindi Irwin Gives Touching Tribute to Her Crocodile Hunter Dad [VIDEO]

Bindi Irwin dedicated her latest performance on 'Dancing With the Stars' to her famous Dad, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Despite being a big fan of DWTS, I thought I would be disappointed this year with the current line-up of stars. But when I saw Bindi Irwin's enthusiasm and spirit, I knew I had a new favorite.

As much as I've loved her first few dances, however, I wasn't prepared for this week's performance that she dedicated to her Dad. People around the world were shocked on September 4th of 2006 when Steve Irwin died on Batt Reef after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb. Bindi was just 8 years old at the time, and her Mom, Terri, says she and her Dad were inseparable.

This week, she told the emotional story of how the loss of her Dad affected her, and how she still expects to see him walk in the door. In the video package, you'll see her talk about her Dad, and then watch her dance with partner Derek Hough. It earned a perfect 10 from the judges, and touched everyone's hearts. A word of warning, however. Have tissues nearby because you're going to need them!
