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....
