Post Haste: Tumbles, the puppy with a wheelchair from OU, is getting national attention; New restaurant opening in Athens

He's been on ABC News and the Huffington Post.

Good morning. Here's what you need to know for Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2015:

Remember Tumbles, the two-legged shelter puppy featured by The Post on Friday? Well, he’s since managed to capture the hearts of people across the world with his adorable antics and inspiring tale.

On Monday, ABC News published its own story about Athens’ furry friend, garnering more than 40,000 likes on its Facebook page within 48 hours.

From CBS to The Huffington Post, Mashable to Inside Edition, media outlets nationwide have been publishing their own renditions on the story and have received massive feedback.

Not even those across the pond can resist his charm. Yesterday, The Daily Mail picked up the story for itself. Those in Malaysia have fallen for Tumbles, too.

Can’t get enough of Tumbles’ two-legged adventures? Stay tuned for an in-depth story, coming soon to The Post.
