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 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. They 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
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...
