To my wife, Tricia, and son, Ryan, I love you.

Every day I was in captivity, I prayed for a miracle, ... It was delivered in the form of Rev. Jackson and his delegation.

I'd say for myself personally, the lowest point was probably a couple of weeks into the captivity after a week of isolation, ... Just prior to our Red Cross visit may have been the hardest time.

I hope that in some way our release will lead to further negotiations for peace.

The dog is evaluated by the staff to make sure there's no aggressive behavior.

As a symbol of my faith in my country that they were doing everything they could to get us released.

We usually have about 50-60 dogs in the day. We go up as high as 25 dogs for the overnight.

To my wife and son, I love you.
