prisoner. despite the mirky details how he ended up a hostage, the objective was crystal clear. he was an american and had a mom. i didn t want his mom to see him get his head chopped off on youtube. that went through your mind? for sure. in the middle of the fire fight with every second counting, hatch split off from the team with two other men and a secret weapon, a dog named remco. at some point i could see a couple of guys, probably 4 or 500 meters away in flat field and moving and they kind of disappeared. so i m like we got to, you know, we got to get over there. we went at them, put the dog in front of his because his body language will tell you if there is people close by for sure and we couldn t see. the dog was out probably two or three meters in front of us and we were moving good. i saw his fur and ears go up and he started to pick up speed and boom, boom, two rounds go into the dog and muzzle flashlights
