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.... Author
