Potential Trump running mate Kristi Noem defends killing dog on family farm

Mrs Noem, the governor of South Dakota, describes killing an "untrainable" dog called Cricket that she "hated" in an upcoming memoir, excerpts of which were first published by The Guardian on April 26.

She also said she shot to death a goat.

Mrs Noem said the dog ruined a hunt and later attacked chickens owned by a local family, behaved like a "trained assassin", and was "dangerous to anyone she came in contact with".

"I realised I had to put her down," Mrs Noem wrote.
