It is common knowledge that canines are among the most intelligent creatures to ever walk the Earth. Some dogs have even become internet celebrities because of their exceptional intelligence. And we are thankful that we get to learn about them and their feats through social media and the news.
This black dog from Monterrey, Colombia is one of those super-intelligent canines adored by Internet users throughout the world. The personnel at the Diversified Technical Education Institute of Monterrey adopted the puppy many years ago, and she now resides on campus.
Having a dog on campus is not unheard of, but what makes this dog special is that he has, sort of, figured out how to buy himself some cookies from the school’s cafeteria. Yes, he may not have the kind of money that we humans have but he believes he does!
The pupils at the school frequently gave this nice dog cookies, which eventually became his favorite treat. Unbeknownst to them, the canine was observing them as they purchased the tasty snacks. It didn’t take that long for the dog to grasp that the cafeteria workers would hand over the cookies in exchange for that piece of paper, which was obviously money for us humans.
The dog had no concept of money, therefore he believed that the students were paying with leaves! According to the proverb, money does not grow on trees, but for this dog, it certainly does.
The cookie-loving dog would stand, place his front paws on the counter, and exchange a leaf for a cookie. The first time the dog did that, everyone was amazed, and the staff gave him the treats he purchased using the leaf he picked up from the ground.
This became a daily occurrence for the canine and the staff, who allowed him to “purchase” the cookies twice a day with the leaves.
