Megan Lebowitz is a politics reporter for NBC News.

South Dakota governor and Republican vice presidential contender Kristi Noem on Friday responded to a news report about a section of her forthcoming book where she describes killing her 14-month-old dog. 'We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,' she said in a post to X above a headline from The Guardian, which obtained a copy of Noem's upcoming book, “No Going Back.

She then went on to kill a family goat, who she called 'nasty and mean.' Noem also led the goat to a gravel pit, where she said her first shot wounded but did not kill the animal. She got another shell for her gun and killed the goat, according to the book. Noem wrote that her daughter seemed confused when she came home from school, asking, 'Hey, where's Cricket?' NBC News has not obtained Noem's book or independently verified section reported by The Guardian.
