All Good Dogs Go To Heaven

Dogs who are so loyal and giving,

deserve no less than this;

As they depart for heaven’s gate,  

with a final good dog fuss  

and a tearful, loving kiss.

Holding tightly to their paw,  

till their eyes softly close,  

while their gentle, peaceful spirit soars,  

but, continues living within  

that broken heart of yours.

This is where their pain ends,  

and where your sorrow begins.  

Yet, they will be looking down

from the beautiful stars  

over the rainbow bridge.

We know that all good dogs go to heaven,  

to realms beyond this earthly plane,  

to a paradise where they run free,  

in a land of boundless joy,  

where fusses and play never end.

But, good dogs will never forget you,

they will be waiting so patiently,  

for that wonderful moment

when you will join them,  

and call out their name.

They’ll come running so quickly,

their tail wagging incredibly fast

as they eagerly lick your face,

overjoyed to be reunited

with their forever friend at last.

The Rainbow Bridge
By Unknown
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 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....
