Rainbow Bridge
 

"There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.  It is
called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land
of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm spring
weather.  All the animals who have 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 begins to quiver.  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.  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 the Rainbow Bridge together, never
again to be separated."
