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
and 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
remembered them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small
thing; they miss someone very special to them, wo had
to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one
suddenly stops and looks into the distance.  The bright eyes
are intent; the eager body quivers.  Suddenly he begins to
break away 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 absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.......
