| 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 that 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....
