By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Це він — найвірніший твій друг!
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
A study published by the Royal Veterinary College (UK) shows that the average lifespan of dogs is around 11.2 years.
Yet real life sometimes shows a different side of cats.
"Other animals are capable of telling us about themselves if we can find the right way to ask them."
People can be divided into those for whom pets are just distant creatures, insignificant in everyday life, and those for whom four-legged companions become full members of the family.

Many of us remember Rudyard Kipling’s story “The Cat That Walked by Himself.”
"Other animals are capable of telling us about themselves if we can find the right way to ask them." ((Francine Patterson, a renowned American researcher in comparative psychology).
