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. The bright eyes are intent, the
eager body begins to quiver. 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...
