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 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

confortable. All the

animals who had been

ill and old are restored

to health and vigor;

those who are 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, who had to be

left behine. They all run

and play together, but

the day comes when

one suddenly stops and

looks in 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

 from your heart. Then

you cross the Rainbow

Bridge together......
