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 that they can play
together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and
our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to
health and vigour, those who were hurt or maimed are made
whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams
of days and times goneby. 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, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into
the distance. With bright eyes intent, and with eager body
beginning to quiver your precious friend begins to run from
the group, flying over the green grass, legs running 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 on 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.........
