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 and 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 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. The bright
eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break
away 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 ...
