THE 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 the Rainbow Bridge together.......

Lurch (Big Boy)
Lurchie was a very special boy. He was found as a stray in East Texas covered in fleas and ticks. NTBHR took him in and cleaned him up, but unfortunately Lurch's story was not destined to have a fairy tale ending. It was soon after he entered the NTBHR program that we found he had an inoperable, malignant lump in his throat. No one was interested in adopting Lurch because of his cancer but he had so much heart and love left to give the rescue looked for a hospice situation where he could live out his life. He touched many homes with is silly "it's time for dinner" bark and big tail wags. As one foster home said "He was impossible to dislike." We are all glad he is no longer in pain and feel lucky to have shared in his company for even a short time - NTBHR foster families
