They say, "money doesn't grow on trees," but in this adorable story, it absolutely does!

A beautiful dog named Negro, who lives at the Diversified Technical Education Institute of Monterrey Casanare in Colombia, has found the most lovable way to secure an endless supply of doggy treats—by "paying" for them with leaves.

The charming stray was adopted by the staff at the school and is allowed to roam freely around the grounds. Students often buy Negro cookies from the school canteen, but the clever pooch soon decided it was time to stop begging and start paying for his own treats.

"One day, spontaneously, he appeared with a leaf in his mouth, wagging his tail and making it clear that he wanted a cookie," teacher Angela Garcia Bernal said.

The staff decided to allow Negro to buy treats only a couple of times a day to prevent things from getting out of control.

"When you first see him, you almost want to cry. He’s found a way to make himself understood. He’s very intelligent," Bernal said.
