How many Facebook Likes does it take to get a puppy? Only a million.
Just two days after a pair of sisters launched a campaign on the social network to convince their father to get a puppy, the girls posted a picture and video of their new dog, Millie.
Earlier this week, the sisters encouraged Facebook members to Like a picture on their page titled Twogirlsandapuppy: "Hi World," read the message. "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!"
It took just seven hours to reach their goal. It also catapulted the family into viral fame, with appearances on shows such as Good Morning America. On Thursday, the family visited the North Shore Animal League America on Long Island to see some of their rescued puppies.
"We had a great visit with five great dogs and the girls chose to take Millie home!" the sisters wrote on their Facebook page. "Thanks to those of you who suggested Millie for a million-vote puppy. We're so excited to welcome this new member to our household."
