The Story of 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 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 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.
