Just this side of heaven is a place called 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 Rainbow Bridge together....

quite right topkat,
especially if they've been made whole and strong again - a bunch of seriously pi$$ed off and possibly tooled up Cows, pigs and chickens (plus indeterminate others from kebabs) wouldn't be a pleasant sight charging towards you.

I think the answer is in the negative, as Hurree Jamset Ram Singh would have said.

It has no literary value, and indeed may safely be entered into the debit side of the ledger, because it is irredeemably dreadful puppy pap.

quite right ken, it is a step up from virtually everything written on here. most of us us spend a ridiculous amount of time on this forum writing stuff with no literary merit whatsoever, so it is a bit rich to criticise something that at least touches the hearts of a few people.

munch man, Billy Bunter from the 1950's TV series which I just about remember.

Superb stuff, this is part 1. The following parts are easy to find.
