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 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
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. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body quivers.
Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, her legs carrying her 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....
