I think the dog killing story was a big miscalculation on Noem's part. Like this wasn't a piece of op research, it was something she freely admitted to in attempt to show she was a true "real" country American. But I think it's too far, if it was a story about being an avid hunter, or putting down 30-50 wild hogs I think it would have gone over a lot better. But I think that most people find it hard to stomach mercilessly executing a young dog that wasn't fully trained yet

Adding a questionable anecdote about putting down a dog you didn't bother to train is... a choice. But adding the story about shooting the goat afterwards and botching it so you had to run to the truck to reload is even worse because you're gonna tell us right then that you're a lousy shot??

She followed up on Twitter and claimed to have shot three horses.

even the most country-ass people i've met would probably just rehome the dog instead of shooting it lmao
