The Rainbow Bridge is a metaphorical or mythological place often referred to by people whose pets have died.
The belief is that the souls of deceased pets go to wait for their owners in a green meadow paradise. On the day their owners arrive, they both cross the Rainbow Bridge and go into heaven together.
Although no religion specifically refers to such a place for pets, the belief is similar to the Bifrost Bridge of Norse Mythology. Its source is a story whose author is unknown.
In many pet-related communities and animal-related organisations, pets who have died are often referred to as being At the bridge or ATB.
The Original Rainbow Bridge On-Line Pet Memorial was the first web site created to honor those pets.
