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,
someone who was 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 breaks
from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never
absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together
