"One day at my cousin's house, he was feeding Canela (another local deer Kelvin named) and I thought it was really cool. When I got home I saw Money in my backyard, walked up to him, and noticed he didn't run away, so I felt we had a connection," he told BuzzFeed.

"I went inside and grabbed him an apple, and he ate it. I expected him to leave but he kept following me, so that's when I grabbed some Club Crackers and started feeding him. His name is Money 'cause I feel like he deserves that name – money makes me happy and he did too, so I felt like we had a friendship."
