<DIV class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">The rescuer at Rainbow
Bridge<BR><BR>Unlike most days at the Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and
gray. All the recent arrivals at the Bridge did not know what to think, as
they had never seen such a day. But the animals who had been waiting <SPAN
class=text_exposed_hide>...</SPAN><SPAN class=text_exposed_show>longer for
their beloved people to accompany them across the Bridge knew what was
happening, and they began to gather at the pathway leading to the
Bridge.<BR><BR>Soon an elderly dog came into view, head hung low and tail
dragging. He approached slowly, and though he showed no sign of injury or
illness, he was in great emotional pain. Unlike the animals gathered along the
pathway, he had not been restored to youth and vigor upon arriving at the
Bridge. He felt out of place, and wanted only to cross over and find
happiness.<BR><BR>But as he approached the Bridge, his way was barred by an
angel, who apologized and explained that the tired and broken-spirited old dog
could not cross over. Only those animals accompanied by their people were
allowed to cross the Bridge. Having nobody, and with nowhere else to turn, the
dog trudged into the field in front of the Bridge. There he found others like
himself, elderly or infirm, sad and discouraged. Unlike the other animals
waiting to cross the Bridge, these animals were not running or playing. They
simply were lying in the grass, staring forlornly at the pathway across the
Rainbow Bridge. The old dog took his place among them, watching the pathway
and waiting, yet not knowing for what he was waiting.<BR><BR>One of the newer
dogs at the Bridge asked a cat who had been there longer to explain what was
happening. The cat replied, "Those poor animals were abandoned, turned away,
or left at rescue places, but never found a home on earth. They all passed on
with only the love of a rescuer to comfort them. Because they had no people to
love them, they have nobody to escort them across the Rainbow Bridge.” The dog
asked the cat, "So what will happen to those animals?” Before the cat could
answer, the clouds began to part and the cold turned to bright sunshine. The
cat replied, "Watch, and you will see.”<BR><BR>In the distance was a single
person, and as he approached the Bridge the old, infirm, and sad animals in
the field were bathed in a golden light. They were at once made young and
healthy, and stood to see what their fate would be. The animals who had
previously gathered at the pathway bowed their heads as the person approached.
At each bowed head, the person offered a scratch or hug.<BR><BR>One by one,
the now youthful and healthy animals from the field fell into line behind the
person. Together, they walked across the Rainbow Bridge to a future of
happiness and unquestioned love. The dog asked the cat, "What just happened?”
The cat responded, "That was a rescuer. The animals gathered along the pathway
bowing in respect were those who had found their forever homes because of
rescuers. They will cross over when their people arrive at the Bridge. The
arrival here of a rescuer is a great and solemn event, and as a tribute they
are permitted to perform one final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort
all those poor animals they couldn't place on earth across the Rainbow
Bridge.”<BR><BR>The dog thought for a moment, then said, "I like rescuers.”
The cat smiled and replied, "So does heaven, my friend. So does
heaven</SPAN></DIV></SPAN></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
