Just this side of heaven is a place called
Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been
especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow
Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all
of our special friends so they can run and
play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are
restored to health and vigor; those who
were
hurt or maimed are made whole and strong
again, just as we remember them in our
dreams of days and times gone by. The
animals are happy and content, except for
one small thing; they each miss someone
very special to them, who had to be left
behind.
They all run and play together, but the day
comes when one suddenly stops and looks
into
the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His
eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to
run
from the group, flying over the green grass,
his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and
your special friend finally meet, you cling
together in
joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your
hands
again caress the beloved head, and you
look once more into the trusting eyes of
your pet, so long
gone from your life but never absent from
your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
