The Rainbow Bridge
Author unknown Between Earth and Heaven stretches the glorious 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 who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; 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... A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z

![]() Tonka who was born July 16, 1999 came to me when he was abandoned in my kennel at the age of 2 years. I brought him home as he was an akita and they are hard to place, but he was also the absolute sweetest boy I had ever met. He and my Rottweiler Cannon instantly bonded and they became the best of friends. Tonka was the pack leader in my house, he kept all of the peace and all of the other dogs in order. Tonka would curl up in my bed with me and let me lay my head on his soft hair whenever I couldn't sleep and he would stay there with me while I slept, He was the most innoffensive dog to have ever met. On April 26, 2009, one of my Rottweilers Lt. Dan (akaDanny) got into a spat with Tonka, and Danny accidentally bit Tonka in the juggular vein and Tonka died within seconds. I am so completely devestated, I just want my baby boy back, I miss him so, he took part of my heart with him. Suzi Click a letter to find an animal or view all.
