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."
"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 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."
