"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 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 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 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.... "

Thank you so much for the pretty poem!!!!! I had to have my dog put down after 13 years on June 28th 2007 from liver cancer!!!!

Thank you so much this helps me because two of my little animals did die in 1 week and this was perfect timing thank you. Samantha

I just read the poem and it really is wonderful.In Ky I rescued the dogs no one wanted the blind the old the sick, they are gone now but every one is in our hearts. There is no difference between our rotties to our poms and all those of unknown breds. I miss them terribly. I thank you for the poem.

i work at a barn, and we have a rainbow bridge spot and that poem is a big part of it. where did you find that poem?

Thank you. My buddy passed almost 2 years ago, it never got any easier but this sure helped.

we use this poem in our sympathy cards at my vets office. i think it is absolutely perfect.

"If there are no animals in heaven i will not go"
well heaven supposed to be perfect and it cant be perfect with out the animals.

no worries! my dogs Ebony and Sammy died, too.Ebony died in 2001, and Sammy died in 2005. I'm still very sad , but then we got Dozer and Diesel!

my horse Sheyanne died in october, 2005 .and even though she is not here, we are gonna get another horse that can't ever replace her!

i love this poem i shiver every time i read it i even put it on my web site i hope you dont mind. ive lost so many pets in the past they all have a special place but its not the same as having them here with me. i hope they will be as happy to see me as i will be to see them!

this really helped my friend.she had a little duck and it died a rew weeks ago.

that poem was great my dog Baloo died the day after christmas last year which also happened to be my youngest daugthers birthbay. I had him snce he was a pup and he was 11 years old. The kids were devestated they have never known life without him. But we have another dog named Belle so that helped a bit.. even she was upset her buddy died. she moped around for days.

my dachshund sassy passed away 2 months ago from cancer.

hanna that was....that was so so good i always read it when i loose some one i love

i hate that poem it makes me remembermy pit Sienna. she died 2 days before christmas last year. my first real dog that i trained myself.. i loved that dog more then anything

That poem makes me feel alot better. I've lost quite a few best friends from old age, and that poem really helps, thank you.

Look this may help to some but personally it only made me feel worse. That there In heaven alone, wondering where I am. If you're a pet luver... How could you post this. And it only makes me feel like crying. It didn't help, in fact it worrsened my situation.

That poem really helped i lost a friend last year.

think this,you cant wait till night because you can see your dogs,cats,fish,horses and all off ur pets in your dreams

I LOVE THAT POEM!!! I first saw it in the window of one of the stores in my town. I think of it every time I think of my pets.

Marble:Got chewed up by the neighbors boxers

Shadow:Got ran over when she ran into the highway

Elsieied of old age

Bobcat:Got ran over by my friends brother

I have suffered other losses, but just now i am the proud and happy owner of 1 dog, Aries, 4 kittens, Cuddles, Trouble, Elm, & Smudge, and 1 rabbit, Clover

I ment to put Elsie: died of old age, not Elsie;Died of old age

Very sad. I am sorry for all of you pet owners who have lost a dear friend. Just a month or so ago, I lost my cat Witty. She was too young. But she's in a better place. <3

Thank you for the poem so much! I have lost sooo many pets but the ones that hurt the most are 1 dog, her name was Cheyenne, and 2 cats, named Clidie and Mo. They all dissapeared, Clidie in 2002, Cheyenne in 2003, and Mo in 2005. I know that happened along time ago but it still hurts and the worst part is that I don't know what happened to them!
