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. As the glowing figure passed each animal, that animal
bowed its 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 rescuer."
