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 or are 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....
