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 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 old and ill are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made 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 out into the distance. His bright eyes are content and 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 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 eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.
