Spurred on by a skeptical father, a pair of sisters posted the image, above, to Facebook on Tuesday. They asked other users to like the photo, and make their dad follow through on his promise of a new puppy if the shot received a million digital thumbs-up. Less than seven hours later, the girls had their wish. "Hi World," reads the message written in marker on a piece of butcher paper. "We want a puppy! Our dad said we could get one if we get 1 million likes! He doesn't think we can do it! So 'LIKE' this!" On the Facebook page, entitled Twogirlsandapuppy, the girls write that their previous dog died of cancer last year. Inspired by another pair of siblings who had tried a similar stunt, they asked their dad to agree to a bet of sorts. Posts by different family members over the course of the day tell the story of a simple bet gone viral. In one, a family member says "the girls were giddy" as they watched the likes pile up, but didn't hint that the goal was within immediate reach. In another, the father promises that he'll be true to his word should the photo indeed reach 1 million likes. Finally, the milestone was achieved in a post about six hours after the page was first set up: Everyone pointing out that the profile pic has 700,000+ likes and that that other pic has 300,000+, we've just realized that. So wow—they will wake up to find they've already reached their goal! Amazing. Dad has a long day of work tomorrow but it seems we'll be looking before the week's out. We will post a picture here in thanks! An hour later, the profile picture had 1.2 million likes, so it's likely that the family will soon be visiting shelters to look for a new addition. The sisters will gain a puppy, and parents everywhere will learn an important lesson: Never doubt the power of social media, a couple of adorable sisters and, of course, puppies. We're two sisters who want a puppy! For those that are curious if we make it our new puppy will be a rescue either from a local shelter or a local rescue organization. ---------------------------- FROM THE Twogirlsandapuppy Facebook page: Hi, We're two sisters and we desperately want a puppy. We have three little brothers, too. Yes, we have five kids in our family. We lost our dog several months ago to cancer. We really want another one but our parents are reluctant. Then the other day we saw a brother and sister on facebook post a picture saying that their dad would let them get a dog if they get a ton of likes. We got our dad to agree to it! He said if we get 1 million likes we get a new puppy. He doesn't think we can do it. In our original post we had a link for donations, but that was partly because mom and dad didn't think anyone other than close friends and family would actually see this page! We removed that link when we saw how many people were coming to this page. We don't want to ask strangers for money, only likes. Thanks for your likes!
