At 14 months a hunting dog should be past that and if it’s going off scent at 14 months it’ll never make a hunting dog. Plus it attacked the neighbors chickens.

According to her it attacked the chickens. She's been caught in enough lies where she loses any benefit of the doubt.....

The dog escaped. Normal dogs dont just kill livestock and chickens. And it tried to bite her. She's an idiot for many reasons but this isn't one

She's played so fast and loose with the truth for years, does she really get the benefit of the doubt for trying to frame it this way?

It was laid out this way in her initial telling of the story.

My point is her initial telling of the story fully accurate (she likes to lie)? Or has she embellished it to draw a parallel about how she handled an unruly dog versus how she'd handle suppoosedly unruly immigrants?

While I don't like how she handled the dog I don't hold that against her. Her putting the story in print (true or not) shows how out of touch and unready for the big stage she is.

This is a bit of a red state/blue state divider. She can spin it as liberal elites living in townhouses in Manhattan can't understand why she'd have to put a hunting dog down. That they are out of touch with the heartland. That its the way rugged real life is. That dogs on the farm have a purpose beyond being a pet.

You get the idea.

If the dog was killing their chickens I bet they would have.

Doubtful. There was an episode called "Fred" in which Laura brought home a goat that wound up being very destructive around the farm - pretty much eating everything in sight .... but Charles couldn't bring himself to shoot Fred (like Noem apparently shot her goat.) Charles was a pretty good dude.

I am glad that Little House on the Prairie is brining sense to this whole situation. RIP Michael Landon.

In spite of it's incredible number of anachronisms (including Charles's haircut) and how inconsistent they were with when this was taking place ... it was a good-hearted show. I loved the episode with Johnny Cash and June Carter.

I'm sure the methods are quite gruesome .... and yet it's not the same thing as killing an animal who is also viable as a household pet. It doesn't seem like Kristi Noem made any effort to find her dog a suitable owner. And just to be clear, I am aware that not all working-bred dogs are safe to keep as pets. Some of them do have to be put down ..... I'm just saying that should never be the first option taken.

Once it kills, it is not considered safe. who is going to keep a pet that killed something as harmless as a chicken? you letting that around your kid or other house pets?

and at 18 months that dog should have been almost fully trained. who knows whose fault that it wasn't. But I don't think many training programs are going to take a dog back knowing it has killed another animal that it wasn't trained to. unless Michael Vick ran the program in 2007.

there is a severe case of naivety going on in here. and some of it is probably politically motivated.

I can't agree with you there .... I had a basset hound that used to kill small birds once in a while. She would even bring some of them into the garage. It was her instinct as a scenthound. She even killed a rabbit once. She wasn't dangerous to people at all. Never bit me or anyone else as far as I know. My kids loved that dog, and they were young when we had her. Was a good dog.

Maybe Noem was just creating her own exit strategy out of politics by throwing that in her book. Kind of pointless to put it in there with such detail knowing the response it would likely create.

She sounds like a terrible dog owner and I feel sorry for her animals if she puts them in these types of situations where they can attack a neighbor's animals. Doubt a chicken attack required the dog to be put down unless the neighbor was threatening legal action. It just needed to go to a new home.

Her entire story could be bs. If she fabricated this, thinking it would make her look good/tough, then she is even dumber than I thought

Just think, you sleep with Corey Lewandowski (and Lord knows who else) to get ahead, get thousands of dollars of surgery to be pretty enough for Trump to give you the VP nod, and then you blow it all by revealing to the world you shot a puppy in the face. Nice work, Kristi!

Nice work, Kristi! You really blew it all. Double entendre intended.

Dogs are better than most people. It isn't close either to be honest. Granted, not all dogs are "Good Boys". Most people are pretty selfish and crappy though...while dogs are extremely loving and loyal.

You've gotta be a real POS to abuse a dog...and many owners should not be allowed to have a pet at all. Usually pitbull owners that chain the dog to a tree in the yard with no shade or doghouse and leave it there 24/7/365. They forget to feed and water them also and let them run out. Thats why shelters are slam full of pitbulls. Their owners are most likely to go to prison for selling dope too. The same type of micropenis blowhard always gets a pitbull or 3. You should get hard time in prison for chaining a dog to a tree and leaving it there on 98 degree days, 18 degree days etc. These same idiots shouldn't be allowed to have kids either if they get busted abusing animals. If you cannot take good care of a dog, theres no way you can raise a decent human...but thats a whole different conversation.
