Just  on 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 that they can

run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine,

and our friends there are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had

been ill and old are restored to perfect health and vigor; those who were hurt

or maimed are made whole and strong again just as we remember them in our

dreams of years 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 stay behind when the beloved pet went away.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops

and looks up - the bright eyes are intent, the body quivers. Suddenly he begins

to run from the group his body flying over the green grass,  his legs hurrying

faster and faster. You have been spotted, when you and your friend finally meet,

you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The sweet loving

kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you

look once more into the trusting eyes of your dear pet, so long gone from your

life but never from your heart.                                                             

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
