Photograph: Jamie Kelter Davis/New York Timesis one of the few White House occupants who did not have a beloved pooch roaming the hallowed corridors and admitted a few years ago that he would feel “phony” having a pet dog.
Noem was aghast, the owners distraught and when Cricket attempted to bite her, Noem realised that she “hated that dog” and that it was “less than worthless as a hunting dog”. So when they got home, she took out her gun, brought Cricket to a gravel pit on the ranch and shot her. For good measure, she used the occasion to also get rid of a “nasty and mean” male goat who’d been part of the family ranch for too long. The nameless goat met the same grisly fate in the gravel pit.
“The fact is, South Dakota law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can be put down. Given that Cricket had shown aggressive behaviour towards people by biting them, I decided what I did.”
