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 gorgeous black dog offered his "take it or leaf it" deal to the store attendant.

Amazed by how smart the pup was, the attendant couldn't help but "sell" Negro a treat.

"He comes for cookies every day," said Gladys Barreto, a longtime store attendant.

"He always pays with a leaf. It is his daily purchase."

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

The beautiful dog has left everyone speechless.

"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.
