就在天堂的這一邊，有個地方叫彩虹橋。

當一隻與這裡的人特別親近的寶貝死亡時，寶貝會去彩虹橋。

所有的特殊朋友可以一起跑步和玩耍。

有充足的食物、水和陽光，溫暖舒適的草地和山丘。

所有生病和衰老的寶貝都恢復了健康和活力。

那些被傷害或致殘的人會重新變得完整和強壯，就像過去的日子和時代，在我們的夢中記住他們一樣。

除了一件小事，寶貝們都很快樂和滿足；他們不得不將每個想念對他們來說非常特別的人拋在腦後。

他們一起跑來跑去，但總有一天會突然停下來眺望遠方。

他明亮的眼睛是意圖。他渴望的身體顫抖著。突然間，他開始脫離人群，飛越綠草，雙腿載著他的速度越來越快。

你被發現了，當你和你的特別朋友終於見面時，你們緊緊相擁，歡聚一堂，永不分離。幸福的吻落在你的臉上；

你的手再次撫摸著你心愛的頭，你再次注視著寶貝信任的眼睛，它早已從你的生活中消失，但你的心從未缺席。

然後你們一起過彩虹橋……

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to 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 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.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be 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 quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him 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 the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….
