In it, she writes about Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, who Noem shot in the gravel pit on her family’s property moments before her children returned from school.
The dog, Noem claimed, had an “aggressive personality” that could not be tamed, as evidenced by the fact that Cricket ruined a pheasant hunt by being “crazy with excitement, chasing all those birds and having fun.” life.’
Additionally, when the governor of South Dakota took Cricket with her to meet a local family, the dog began killing the family’s chickens like “a trained killer.”

According to an excerpt from a book obtained by the guardianCricket “grabbed one chicken at a time, crushed it to death in one bite, and then dropped it to attack another.”
As former President Donald Trump contemplates who should become his vice president, Noem has written a new book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, which will be published on May 7.
When Noem finally grabbed the dog, she wrote that Cricket “turned around to bite me.”
Cricket was “the picture of pure joy.” Meanwhile the owner of the chickens was crying.
Noem said she wrote a check “for the price they asked for and helped them get rid of the bodies covering the crime scene.”
“I hated that dog,” Noem wrote, believing the 14-month-old dog was “untamable,” “dangerous to anyone he came into contact with” and “less than useless…as a hunting dog.”
So he decided to kill Cricket.
“At that time,” the governor wrote. “I realized I had to put her down.”
He shot Cricket in the family’s gravel pit.
“It wasn’t a pleasant job,” Noem said, “but it had to be done.” And when it was over, I realized that there was another unpleasant job to do.
Noem decided to also kill the family goat because it was “nasty and mean,” as it was not neutered and smelled “disgusting, musky (and) rancid” and “loved to chase” the governor’s children.
She also “dragged him into the gravel pit,” but the goat jumped out when she tried to shoot him, briefly leaving him alive.
Noem said she had to go back to her truck and retrieve another projectile and then “ran back to the gravel pit and left it.”

His actions were witnessed, he said, by a construction crew working nearby.
Moments later, the bus dropped off their children.
“Kennedy looked around confused,” Noem recalled of her daughter, who asked, “Hey, where’s Cricket?”
Noem later admitted, “I guess if I were a better politician I wouldn’t tell the story here.”
On Friday the Internet was already full of reactions to his story.
Rick Wilson, one of the co-founders of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, He called Noem ‘trash.’
“Decades with hunting and hunting dogs, and the number of dogs I have killed because they were sharp as chickens or had too much prey drive is ZERO,” he noted.
‘Puppies need slow exposure to birds and bird smell. She killed a puppy because she was lazy training hunting dogs, not because he was a bad dog. “Not all dogs are fit for the field, but 99.9% of them are trainable or real,” she stated. ‘Now we have one that never went to the field, but I didn’t kill her. She’s sleeping on the couch.
Wilson said old dogs, injured dogs and sick dogs should be humanely euthanized “not by shooting them and throwing them in a gravel pit.”
“Unsportsmanlike and deliberately cruel… but she wrote this to show that cruelty is the point,” Wilson said.
