《彩虹橋》

曾經有位無名氏寫了一首詩叫彩虹橋Rainbow Bridge，說動物離世之後就會去這裡，這裡就是彩虹橋。但願每一位失去了至愛動物的主人，都能得知彩虹橋 的點滴，安心讓至愛去到這遍溫暖的土地，使我們得以釋懷、得以安慰。祝福所有動物和主人們。

原文 - Rainbow Bridge

This is a bridge connecting heavn and earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of it's many colors.

Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather.

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.
 

They play all day with each other. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing:
they miss someone very special to them, who had left them behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
 

The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers.

Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been seen,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, never again to be separated.

有一座連接天與地叫做「彩虹橋」
因為它有著繽紛的色彩
橋的這一端是綿延的草原
山丘與河谷，一片綠草如茵
每當心愛的寵物死後
牠就會去到那個地方
那裡永遠都有食物、水和溫暖的春天
老而贏弱的動物再度年輕
殘廢的再度健全

整日一起玩耍

牠們只缺少一種東西
少了在地上愛牠們的那個特別的人

牠們每天玩耍、每天奔跑
直到有一天，
其中一隻突然停止玩耍，
抬起頭
鼻子掀動！
耳朵豎直！
眼睛睜大！
突然從動物群中跑開
牠看見了你
當你和你特別的朋友再度相遇
你將牠抱在懷裡
臉被親了又親
你會再一次凝視信賴你的那一對眼睛

然後你們就可以一起走過彩虹橋
永不再分離
