Guess I’m too pragmatic. I worked and lived on ranches. Some family still own and killing bad animals is necessary. I get the little puppy thing. Bad story or maybe I’m callous.

For this age I probably am callous.

I think you pointed out a valid hypocrisy. It’s a no-win for Noem or probably any politician, but it doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

Someone should tell "reporter" Diana Glebova that a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer is NOT a "puppy".

Lie like The Media...

• The first year of a dog’s life is equal to 15 human years.
• The second year of a dog’s life is equal to about nine human years.
• Each additional year is equal to about four or five human years.

The "puppy" was the human equivalent of 18 years old.

You know - like a month-old human baby. /s
