While they may be gone, our dogs who have
passed on are not forgotten...
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies who 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 and water and sunshine, and our friends
are warm and comfortable.
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.
The animals 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 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 together, you and your special
pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.
