Blue state governors share pics of their dogs to dunk on Gov. Noem’s story of shooting her own dog

Several Democratic governors ripped into Gov. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., after an excerpt of her upcoming book detailing how she once killed her 14-month-old dog went viral on social media this week.

Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., Gov. Gretchen Whiter, D-Minn., and other blue state governors shared pictures of themselves with their own dogs to mock the Republican leader after The Guardian published a preview of her new book that recounted her killing her dog because it was "untrainable."

Noem confirmed on social media that she shot and killed the dog and characterized the decision as a "tough" one that comes with farm life.

According to The Guardian’s report, Noem wrote in her book "No Going Back" that she took her 14-month-old female dog "Cricket" to a "gravel pit" near her farm and shot it dead because it was "less than worthless" and "untrainable."

Noem reportedly described in her work how the dog had ruined a pheasant hunt, going "out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life."

The governor also noted that Cricket went AWOL and ate several of the chickens on her farm.

"It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done," Noem’s book reportedly added about putting Cricket down.

Noem replied to The Guardian’s story on X, writing, "We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years."

"If you want more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping, preorder ‘No Going Back,’ she added.
