About the Book
They weren’t “just a pet.”
They were your shadow. Your safe place. Your soulmate.
When the Leash is Empty was written to honor that kind of love—and to help carry you through the kind of grief most people don’t understand. This isn’t just a guide. It’s a hand on your shoulder, a whisper of comfort, and a reminder that your sorrow is sacred.
Whether your loss was recent or long ago, this book offers gentle mantras, reflection prompts, and practical support—woven with the same kind of unconditional love they gave you every day.
Why This Book Exists
Written by Christine Kelly, founder of Rescued by Rembrandt, this book was born from the kind of grief that reshapes your soul—and from the belief that no one should have to carry that pain alone.
Through our Forever Pets program, your download also connects you to a free email series created to support pet parents through loss. It’s our way of continuing their legacy—one tender story, one small comfort, one shared moment at a time.

The Rainbow Bridge (Reimagined by PRAI Storytelling™)
Somewhere just beyond the noise of the world we know, there is a place where the sun is always warm, and the fields never end.
It’s quiet there—but not lonely.
They run, untethered. No pain, no age, no fear. Their paws are light. Their eyes are bright. Their spirit, whole.
They remember your scent.
They remember your voice.
They remember the way you laughed when they were silly, the way you whispered when it was time to rest.
And when the time is right—on a day not marked by calendars—they will pause mid-run, lift their head, and know:
You’re coming.
They’ll race to greet you, full of joy, full of light. No leash, no barrier—just reunion.
This place we call the Rainbow Bridge isn’t far.
It’s where love waits. Where memory lives.
Where the leash is never empty again.
