Gov. Kristi Noem has “no shot” at being Donald Trump’s running mate after revealing in a forthcoming book that she shot and killed her puppy, sources close to the 45th president tell The Post.
***
“She was already unlikely to be picked as VP, but had a shot,” the person said of Noem, who has been widely projected to be on Trump’s shortlist.
“After this, it’s just impossible.”
Noem writes, according to the Guardian, that she executed Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, after determining that the pooch’s “aggressive personality” made her “untrainable” as a hunting dog.
“It was not a pleasant job,” the 52-year-old recounts, “but it had to be done.”
*** “Trump isn’t a dog person necessarily,” “but I think he understands that you can’t choose a puppy killer as your pick, for blatantly obvious reasons.”
A second source told The Post that Trump “likes Kristi a lot,” but was “disappointed when hearing the ‘dog’ story. ***
Unfettered, Cricket attacked the family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another,” according to the governor.
When Noem tried to restrain the dog, Cricket “whipped around to bite me,” and was “the picture of pure joy” during the fowl-killing spree.
In the same excerpt, Noem described in graphic detail her killing a male goat who was “nasty and mean” because it was uncastrated, and “loved to chase” her children around.
To kill the goat, she “dragged him to the gravel pit” where she disposed of Cricket and had to shoot him repeatedly to finish the job.

As for Biden's German Shepherd...once it had bitten three people unprovoked it was obviously a danger and should have been euthanized ASAP after the third incident. The management of this dog reflects the nature of the administration.
Some dogs can’t be trained.
And comparing killing a bad dog with killing a difficult child is insane.
Just as insane as the inevitable pro-lifer who pops up on these threads conflating concern for animals with acceptance of aborting human children.
Who cares! She wasn’t going to be the VP pick anyway.
Was it a leftist that wrote the book! I thought she wrote it.
puppy?
14 months old.
My source tells me:
Carson is 12/1 and would be in way over his head.
Donalds is 38/1 about 20th choice in the odds
DeSantis is more valuable as Governor of Florida.
So now all species mature at the same rate? LOL. Dogs must be much more advanced then humans then, since they learn how to walk much earlier than we do.
Maybe she could be used for a couple of German Shepherds.
Look it up. Dogs are considered puppies up until they’re 2 years old
I shot a dog that bit my daughter .
Anything less is cowardice .
She did us all a favor by getting it out there.
Chico was greatness. Read a book on them.They apparently never learned how to read music. I never did. I find it amazing. I’m just a guitar player.
My cute, sweet golden doodle has the propensity to kill other animals. If she could ever catch one of the rabbits, squirrels, lizards, mice, rats or birds
that she continually chases she’d kill it in a second. I guess I’ll take her out and shoot her.
The rural people who still do this today are the ones too lazy and cold-blooded, or else too stupid to choose options readily available for dog rescue/re-homing. The woman must be some kind of sociopath. Her career in the public eye is dead.
She had to shoot the goat twice because the first shot was unsuccessful. Nothing humane about that.
I read Harpo’s autobiography not too long ago. Quite a story.
She’s a sociopath. Also lazy, taking the easy way out. She had options, but losing her temper and reaching for the rifle were less trouble.
There are no-kill shelters and sanctuaries all around where I live. It’s a little more trouble, and I guess that sociopath couldn’t be bothered.
“Maybe she could be used for a couple of German Shepherds.”
I have two German shepherds now and thirteen over the past 43 years. Best dogs in the world.
