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.
