The following is from the Hearts United web site www.hua.org. (http://www.hua.org.) It is an addition to the famous Rainbow Bridge poem and I think it deserves to be posted here as a tribute to all of you who have helped out with rescue animals.

When a person who has given tirelessly and made it their life's work to save and succor abandoned animals and find them happy homes comes to the bridge, first one animal will stop and look into the distance, then more and more will look up and watch. For this is a person all the animals know about. As they have waited for their loved one(s), they have told the story of their rescue from loneliness, neglect and impending death, and the wonderful people who helped them until a special loved one could be found. Oh special friend of animals, you have been spotted, and all the dogs and other animal friends will run over the fields to thank the person who has enabled so many to have had good lives and memories. Then, will they all walk to the gate of St. Peter and say, "This is a person whose name is surely entered on the roll once for each of us whose life was changed."Then those friends who will be forever together step forward and, to the sound of great rejoicing from all the animals, cross the bridge together.
