About this item

by Adrian Raeside (Author)

Reassuring and uplifting, this beloved classic helps children cope with the grief of saying goodbye to a pet.

For over a decade, The Rainbow Bridge has been providing comfort to families mourning the loss of a cherished pet. Filled with tenderness and gentle humor, this tale follows a young boy's journey to finding peace, healing, and lasting memories after the death of his faithful dog.

Seven-year-old Rick and his dog Koko are inseparable. They cavort in the swimming hole, chase each other through the fields, play fetch and wrestle. But their relationship changes as Koko grows old and his health declines.

With Koko's passing, Rick is devastated. But then, on Christmas Eve, he is woken by Buster, a flatulent but well-intentioned messenger dog, who suddenly appears at the boy's bedside. Buster ferries Rick to a magical paradise for pets where Rick is reunited with Koko; it fills Rick's heart with joy. It's a place where cats burrow through fields of catnip, no couch is off-limits to dogs and frisbees are flung endlessly. This mysterious adventure is truly a holiday miracle! Come Christmas morning, Rick wakes to a fluffy surprise--a reminder that love always finds a way to begin again.

Adrian Raeside captures the special bond between humans and their animal companions, and with marvelous illustrations, brings to life this heartwarming story for anyone who has ever loved and lost a pet.
