| 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....
