South Dakota’s governor Kristi Noem is causing a stir for her soon-to-be released book in which she admits to killing her dog and her family’s goat. Noem details the story in the book and took to social media to explain the situation, seemingly using this situation to provide context surrounding her ability to make tough decisions.
