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...
