South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is defending a controversial account she shares in a new book about killing her 14-month-old dog, Cricket, in an incident she said was decades ago.
In a new book, the governor claimed her 14-month-old pet was"untrainable."
Touting her "years of public service," including leading her state during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Noem went on to write, "My hope is anyone reading this book will have an understanding that I always work to make the best decisions I can for the people in my life." According to the book, as first reported in The Guardian, things apparently came to a head for Noem, when, on the way home from a pheasant hunt one day, Cricket attacked a family's group of chickens, acting, she says, like a "trained assassin."
