The Rainbow Bridge Story
"Just this side of Heaven is a place called The 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 they begin to break away from the group, flying over the
green grass, their legs carrying them 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......."
