The 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 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, someone who was 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; this eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group,
flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your
heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together,
never again to be separated.
