https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/kimberly-guilfoyle-puppy-book-mocked-social-media_n_663015d4e4b0c9bc875897b8Kimberly Guilfoyle announced her new book at an unfortunate time, and social media isn't holding back.

Former Fox News host and Donald Trump Jr.'s girlfriend announced on social media on Monday the publication of her children's book, The Princess and Her Pup.

Guilfoyle wrote on Twitter/X that the book, "teaches children that it's easier to be courageous with a friend by your side." As well as adding that 10 per cent of the proceeds will go to the organisation Furry Friends , "which provides complete care for abused and abandoned dogs and cats."

The book will be published by Brave Books, which claims to provide an "alternative to the Leftist Agenda" and publishes "Pro-God, Pro-America Children's Books" according to their website.

I\u2019m thrilled to announce that my new children\u2019s book \u201cThe Princess & her Pup\u201d is now available for pre-order at https://t.co/YnRynaoRJ7\n\nI partnered with @BraveBooksUS on this heartfelt story that teaches children that it\u2019s easier to be courageous with a friend by your side.\n\nAnd\u2026

Unfortunately for Guilfoyle, her book announcement immediately made users think of the other major news story about dogs this week: the revelation that Republican governor Kristi Noem killed a 14-month-old dog.

In excerpts from Noem's upcoming memoir, she revealed that she once killed a wirehaired pointer for being "less than worthless" as a hunting dog, and added that she also shot a smelly goat at the same gravel put.

After facing backlash, Noem attempted to justify her actions by saying, "it wasn't easy. But often the easy way isn't the right way."

I can understand why some people are upset about a 20 year old story of Cricket, one of the working dogs at our ranch, in my upcoming book \u2014 No Going Back. The book is filled with many honest stories of my life, good and bad days, challenges, painful decisions, and lessons\u2026

But Guilfoyle's poor announcement timing meant the Kristi Noem jokes started to write themselves.

Either \nA) You\u2019re very good at trolling or\nB) You should send a copy to your friend.

Sequel "The Governor and Her Pup" has been canceled.

Man, is this an example of Really Horrible Timing!! \n\nHave you sent an autographed copy to @KristiNoem?\n\nI hope there isn't a sequel planned, "The Prince & His Goat."

Keep Governor Noem away from it
