just the side of heaven there is a place called the rainbow bridge when an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here that pet goes to the 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 that 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 life behind they all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks in the distance his bright eyes are intent his eager body begins to quiver suddenly he begins to fun from the group flying over the grass his legs carry 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 caress the beloved head and you look once again into the trusting eyes of your pet so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart and both of you cross the rainbow bridge forever
