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. 

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
