Legend has it that when the four-legged angels (and any other creature we love) say goodbye and, with a sigh, let their last goodbyes escape, they cross the Rainbow Bridge, on the other side of this bridge there are fields and hills where animals can run, play and enjoy their innocence?
They say that there, on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is enough space, food and sun for everyone to feel good, besides, according to this legend, all those who were sick, mutilated or cruelly wounded, have their health. restored and brimming with joy.
- According to this beautiful legend.
- Our friends are happy and satisfied.
- But they miss that special person they left on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
- Then all of a sudden.
- As everyone runs and plays.
- Some people stop and look at the horizon.
His body shudders and with great emotion separates from his group that quickly crosses the field, reaches us halfway up the bridge and runs fast to receive us, tells the legend that then humans and animals, friends of the soul, come together and never separate.
Their wet tongues ance our faces and hands caress these dear four-legged angels, so that, according to legend, we may remain united for all eternity through a wise and reciprocal gaze, full of love and nobility.
This legend fills our hearts with hope at the loss of our beloved animals, which helps us to understand metaphorically that when an animal leaves this world, it remains in our hearts even though we can no longer physically enjoy its warmth.
Even if they leave this world, they are still complicit, faithful and loving in our hearts.
This same legend that we are talking about does not forget those animals that could not, in life, enjoy the love of a person, so does the poignant story of our legend continue like this?
“Suddenly, the Rainbow Bridge rose differently to normal sunny days; it was a cold, gray day, the saddest day you can imagine. The newcomers didn’t know what to think, they’d never seen a day like that there. But the animals he had already had more time there, waiting for his loved ones, knew perfectly well what had happened and began to gather on his way to the Bridge to look.
They waited a while and came a much larger animal, with their heads pressed and dragging the tail, the animals that already had more time there knew their story immediately because they had seen it several times, the animal approached slowly, very slowly. It was obvious that he had great emotional pain, even if there were no physical signs of pain.
Unlike the other animals waiting on the bridge, this animal had not returned in its youth, nor had it regained health and joy. As he walked to the bridge, he saw all the other animals staring at him. I knew it wasn’asÃ. su place and that as soon as I could cross the bridge, I’d be happy, but that wouldn’t be the case. As he approached the Bridge, an angel appeared and, with a sad face, apologized and told him that he could not cross, only animals accompanied by his loved ones could cross the Rainbow Bridge.
With nowhere to go, the older animal turned around and among the fields saw a group of other animals like him, some older, some very fragile, were not playing, they were just lying on the grass, looking at the road he was driving So he went to meet them, looking at the road and waiting.
One of the newcomers to the bridge did not understand what he had seen and asked another to explain what was going on. “Do you see this poor animal and the others who are there with him?They’re animals that’ve never had anyone. This has at least reached a safe haven; He entered the shelter you now see, an older animal, with grey fur and a slightly cloudy view, but never managed to leave the shelter and died without the care of his caregiver to accompany him while Como had no family to give him his love, did he have anyone to accompany him across the bridge?
The first animal thought for a moment and asked: And now what is going to happen ?, before receiving the answer, the clouds began to break and a very strong wind made them disappear, they could see a person, alone, approaching the bridge, and among the older animals, an entire group was suddenly bathed in golden light and again, they were young and healthy animals , full of life. “Look and see, ” said the second.
Other waiting animals also approached the path and bowed their heads as this person approached. As they passed in front of each head, did the person touch each of them, caress some of them, lovingly scratch the ears of the others? The animals that had been rejuvenated began to line up behind and followed the person to the bridge. Then they crossed the bridge together.
What was that? asked the first animal. The second replied: “This person loved animals very much and worked on their defense. The animals you’ve seen bow your head in a sign of respect are those that have found new homes thanks to the efforts of these people. Of course, all these”. the animals will cross the Bridge when the time comes, when the ones that were their new families arrive.
But those you saw were older and soon rejuvenated? And because they had no family, they couldn’t cross the bridge. When a person who has worked on Earth arrives to help abandoned animals, he is entitled to one last act of rescue and love. Can you accompany all these poor animals for those who could not have family on Earth so that they can also cross the Rainbow Bridge?.
