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 our special
friends, so that 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 have 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 special to them who has been 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 begins to quiver, suddenly he runs from the group, flying over the grass as his legs carry 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 caress the beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross ‘Rainbow Bridge’ together. In
