The Rescuers
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 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.
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.
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 what he was actually waiting for.
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."
In the distance was a single person,
and as she approached the Bridge the old, infirm and sad animals in the
field were bathed in a golden light.
They were all 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. 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 and into Heaven."
The dog thought for a moment, then
said, "I like rescuers."
The cat smiled and replied, "So does
heaven, my friend. So does heaven."
