Rainbow Bridge

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.
