 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 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 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........
