| 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....
