Kristi Noem fondly recalls the day she killed her dog

[Torie]

Folks seem to object to her shooting the dog rather than putting the dog down. Given  that the dog was vicious, I dissent. Vicious dogs should be ruthlessly expurgated.

From the internet, for what it is worth:

Before President Trump, President McKinley (who died after an assassination attempt in 1901) was the last president who did not have a dog, although he had other pets.

Some earlier presidents also had other pets (like birds), but not dogs. John Quincy Adams (whose wife raised silkworms) and James K. Polk did not did not have pets.
