Davenport, the secretary of the Western South Dakota Bird Dog Club, owns seven adult hunting dogs: mostly Spinoni Italiani with whimsical names like Confetti and Partito, and one vizsla. She has been a dog trainer and dog fancier since the mid-1990s, she said. She knows that some dogs are âwired inappropriatelyâ and that, sometimes, for the safety of humans and other animals, it can be necessary to euthanize. She knows that not everybody turns to a vet for that task. âSince I live in a very rural agricultural state, there are people that do that themselves with a firearm,â Davenport told me. What she does not get, though, is the way the governor of her state, Kristi Noem, talked about shooting her dog Cricket, as well as an unnamed billy goat, in her memoir, [âNo Going Back,â](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoHoGkP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNS8wNy91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9rcmlzdGktbm9lbS1ib29rLWNyaWNrZXQta2ltLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTYmZW1jPWVkaXRfY25fMjAyNDA1MDgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTIyNzY4Jm5sPW9uLXBvbGl0aWNzJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjYwNTUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmYzpPw7ZrlJf0tSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) which came out yesterday. âI donât know a single person that would brag about it.

This is not, however, how everybody in South Dakota sees it â dog, goat and human alike. This week, I set out to see if there was something I, the owner of Rhubarb, a mild-mannered rescue dog with bear-hunting blood who lives her life softly curled up on my couch, was missing in all the backlash to Noemâs story. But when I called members of the stateâs bustling bird dog community, they were just as mystified as anybody else. The episode seems to have snuffed out what little chance she had of being named Donald Trumpâs vice presidential nominee (more on that later). But even at home, the story she told to make herself look tough seems to have backfired, at least in some quarters. Dog owners like Davenport were struck less by the death itself than by her spiteful description of a dog that they said she had not set up for success. And they want to be clear: They really, truly, absolutely do not recommend people shoot their own dogs as a matter of course.

He has owned hunting dogs for years, although he is down to just one now: a wire-haired vizsla named Gage who, he freely admits, is not the winningest dog in the club. But Soehl still loves going out in the field with him. âWe have some of the best dogs in the world in this area,â Soehl said. âThe people that I know, they love their dogs.â Pheasant hunting in South Dakota, Soehl said, is a major cultural event. Opening day of the season has a festival-like atmosphere, with small towns hosting pancake breakfasts or evening suppers. And itâs fun for the dogs, too â Soehl said his have usually jumped in the car when they see his guns, excited for the good kind of adventure.

In a section of her book titled âBad day to be a goat,â Noem writes about how Cricket, the roughly 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, had come to her family from a different home where there had been problems with her âaggressive personality.â During a particularly âstressful year,â Noem wrote, she took Cricket on a hunt with her older dogs, and Cricket began chasing birds before the hunters were in range to shoot. Noem was âlivid.â After the ruined hunt, she wrote, she loaded the dogs in kennels in her truck bed â but she didnât have one for Cricket, who was allowed to ride unconfined. When Noem stopped at a neighborâs house, Cricket rocketed out of the back of the truck and began âsystematicallyâ chomping the neighborâs chickens to death before âtryingâ to bite Noem. âI hated that dog,â Noem wrote.

Did Noem break the law? When I called the spokesman for South Dakotaâs attorney general, Marty Jackley, though, he pointed simply to the stateâs seven-year statute of limitations. âSince it happened about 20 years ago, thereâs nothing we can do,â Tony Mangan, the spokesman, said. Asked if Noem might have broken the law at the time, Mangan said any answer would be âpure speculation.â Davenport, a self-described âcommon senseâ Republican who did not vote for Noem, said she worried her governorâs story would reflect poorly on the stateâs thriving world of pheasant hunting. âWe donât go out shooting our dogs. We donât shoot our goats, either,â Davenport said. When a dog must be put down, she said, âWe actually have a mobile vet out here that can come to your house.â Confetti doesnât like loud noises, she said, so sheâs not much of a hunting dog, but sheâs very social. Her youngest dog, she joked, hasnât been trained as well as her others. âI think heâs growing up feral,â she said. âHe better hope Kristi Noem doesnât move in next door.â [Gov.

A waning shot at veep Noemâs future on the 2024 national stage is starting to look about as promising as Cricketâs future on the show-dog circuit.

How has the story of Cricket landed in Trump World? Trump World is looking for solutions to an already-pretty-lengthy list of crises facing the campaign, not more problems. No one around Trump wants to be answering questions about Kristi Noem, let alone questions about Kristi Noem and her puppy and her goat and her gravel pit. How serious of a contender for vice president has Noem really been? And how has this shaped her odds? Noem was always a long shot for Trumpâs ticket. He has been impressed by Noem â she was an outspoken, young Republican member of Congress who easily won headlines. But in recent years, her star has dimmed a bit. She has alienated a number of Republicans over a long career. And sheâs hitched her wagon to Corey Lewandowski, who is an adviser to Trump who is in and out of the former presidentâs orbit, and has his own list of enemies. That said, one of the truisms of Trump World is that youâre never completely out unless you want to be out. Trump loves a redemption narrative, loves when people beg him for forgiveness. But itâs hard to see how a presidential candidate already losing an incredible amount of time to four criminal cases would want to give any thought to explaining the untimely end of Cricket.
