South Dakota Governor and Donald Trump vice-presidential hopeful, Kristi Noem, has been facing criticism for a story in her new book about killing her dog, Cricket, due to its aggressive behaviour. Now she has suggested that President Biden do the same with his dog, Commander.

Noem writes in her book -- No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward -- that she killed her dog named Cricket, who was 14 months' old, because he showed aggressive behaviour. Noem also writes in her book that if she went to the White House, she would say "Commander say hello to Cricket", reported CBS News.

Commander, President Biden's German shepherd, was removed from the White House after reports of him biting Secret Service staff.

Noem has defended her decision, stating that she was protecting her children.
