It wasn't about being a hero or nothing like that. It was just the love of an animal, and I wasn't going to leave them at all. I own two horses of my own with my dad, and we can't find them---we're still kind of shook up about that.

We worked together the whole time. The whole crew works like a family.

I hadn't heard from some of my family, then I did...everyone's OK now, and so I can rest.
