The Rainbow Bridge.

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the
Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.

Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows,
hills and valleys where there is always food and water, and lush
green grass and warm spring weather to play in. When a beloved pet
dies, the pet goes to this place.

Those animals that were old and frail are young again. Those who
have been maimed are made whole again and they play all day long with
one another.

But there is one thing missing. They are not with the special
person who loved them on earth.

So, each day they run and play until the day comes when suddenly
one stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches, the ears go up,
the eyes stare, and suddenly it runs from the group.

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet,
you take him in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and
again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

And you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never to be separated
again.
