Reunions at the Bridge
[Author Unknown]


The young pup and the older dog lay on shaded sweet grass watching the reunions. Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes a whole family would approach the Rainbow Bridge, be greeted by their loving pets and cross the bridge together.

The young pup playfully nipped at the older one. "Look! Something wonderful is happening!" The older dog stood up and barked, "Quickly. Get over to the path." "But that's not my owner," whined the pup, but
he did as he was told.

Thousands of pets surged forward as a figure in white walked on the path toward the bridge. As the glowing figure passed each animal, that animal bowed its head in love and respect. The figure finally approached the bridge, and was met by a menagerie of joyous animals.
Together, they all walked over the bridge and disappeared.

The young pup was still in awe. "Was that an angel?" he whispered. "No, son." The older dog replied. "That was more than an angel. That was a person who worked rescue."

How True

Reading the poem I wasn't sure were it was going and then wow an ending not like I expected. How true, I commend highly anyone who sacrifices, time, money, and the emotional compassion nescessary to give so much to all animals in rescue.

Thank you all how volunteer in Rescue.

poem and rescue...

I got both of my Boxers as puppies, but I visit the boxer rescue sites a lot, and sometimes there are older Boxers on there. I feel so sorry for them, and if I won the lottery and had a bigger house and didn't have to work, I'd let them be a part of my family.... I think maybe next time I'll look into the "older "rescues... (maybe even the local animal shelter for an oldie dog, but with a boxer always on the side, of course) Every dog deserves a pillow, warmth, a little understanding and love, especially if he or she is an old timer who gave the same.
Time to pay back, and I promise myself to.
