[h=1]One man. Two puppies. Texas. EPIC story[/h]
The Ellen DeGeneres Oscar selfies got more retweets than a tweet from Obama and was so overwhelming that it actually brought down some of Twitter’s servers.
THAT is the most retweeted tweet ever. Now many famous companies have tried to replicate that feat, but to no avail. Ellen DeGeneres has over 25 million followers. Other companies who tried also have followers numbering in the 100 thousands.
And now, a Texas man (Whoo, Texas!) armed with two puppies and a Twitter account with barely any followers is trying to break it. And he has already gotten more than 172,000 retweets. And nearly 7000 more followers.
An impressive feat for a man who barely tweeted and had close to none followers. It is still unclear how his tweet has already gotten more than 172,000 retweets. For Ellen DeGeneres , it seems plausible, considering she has over 25 million followers, but for a man with close to none? It is truly a miracle.
172,000 retweets still seems puny compared to Ellen’s 3 million retweets, but still in our minds, he is a hero.

It seems it all started of as a joke, but got a thousand times more serious when they saw that it was getting retweets. Too many retweets.
Wow. Seriously, Wow!
