Although it is widely acknowledged that our canine companions are among the smartest animals on the planet, not all dogs are made equal. Some puppies stand out simply because they are geniuses, and as a result, they become internet celebrities. We read and hear about them a lot, thanks to social media, even if they are far away from where we are.
This black canine from Monterrey, Colombia, is one of those super-smart doggos that have been appreciated by netizens all over the world. The dog resides in the campus of Monterrey’s Diversified Technical Education Institute, and the school’s workers adopted her officially many years ago.
Having a campus dog isn’t unusual, but what sets this one apart is the fact that he managed to figure out how to buy cookies from the cafeteria – well, sort of.
This nice canine was always given cookies by the pupils at school, and it rapidly became his favorite snack. What they didn’t realize was that the doggie was keeping an eye on them while they purchased the delectable snacks. It didn’t take that long for the dog to figure out that if he gave the cafeteria staff a piece of paper, which was, of course, money, they would hand over the cookies.
Because the doggo had no concept of money, he assumed that the pupils were paying with leaves! Money, as the popular and old adage goes, does not grow on trees, but it does for this dog. Plus, leaves do look like money, don’t you think so?
The cookie-obsessed dog would stand on his hind legs and place his front paws on the cafeteria counter, handing over the leaf in return for cookies. Everyone’s heart melted the first time the dog did it, and the stasff, of course, gave him the treats he was buying with the leaves.
For the doggo and the staff, this became a daily practice, and they allowed him to “purchase” the cookies with leaves twice a day.
