Governor Kristi Noem, a potential vice-presidential pick for Donald Trump, is under fire for revealing in her upcoming book that she euthanized her dog.
In her memoir scheduled for release on May 7th, Noem recounted the story of her decision to put down her dog, Cricket, whom she described as “untrainable” and “dangerous.”
She detailed the difficult choice of leading Cricket to a gravel pit and shooting her, stating, “It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done.”
The revelation has sparked criticism online, with the Democratic National Committee denouncing Noem’s actions and Meghan McCain emphasizing the gravity of the situation, saying, “You can recover from a lot of things in politics, change the narrative etc – but not from killing a dog.”
Responding to the backlash on Twitter, Noem defended her actions, asserting that tough decisions like this are commonplace on a farm.

In her book, Noem promised to share more candid and politically incorrect stories, aiming to illustrate her willingness to tackle challenging situations in both politics and life.
Noem who left college at 22 to manage her family farm, recounted in her memoir her struggles to train Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, which culminated in the dog attacking a neighbour’s chickens.
The incident led Noem to the realization that Cricket needed to be put down, alongside a problematic male goat owned by her family.
Despite the difficult circumstances, Noem sees these decisions as indicative of her readiness to confront tough challenges, a trait she believes is essential in both politics and personal life.
