 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.
All the animals who have 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, someone who was 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 breaks from the
group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from life,
but never absent from your heart.
