** RAINBOW BRIDGE **
"NOT AN ANGEL"
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.
After the glowing figure passed each animal,
that animal bowed
it's
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."
