Noem recounts gruesome tale about killing her 14-month-old dog who couldn't hunt: 'I hated that dog'

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump, described several gruesome tales in her new book, which included stories of killing her dog and goat.

The book, titled No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, includes a story of how she put down her 14-month-old puppy, named Cricket, because the dog killed a local family’s chickens after a pheasant hunting trip and bit her when she tried to stop it. The story was supposed to show how Noem would do anything “messy and ugly” when it comes to politics and otherwise.
