We were joking because we knew the history of the bridge but thought there’s no way dogs jump off. As we said that we saw Sophie jump off.
The Sun
It happened instantly; it cleared the parapet wall without even touching it, no-body threw anything; something just gripped it; something went through it like a poltergeist. I’ve never seen the dog jump that high either; it was a powerful jump, and the best I’ve ever seen.
The Baron of Rainbow Bridge
Dogs have leaped from Overtoun Bridge in all seasons, and from every part of the viaduct. With teams of scientists, animal experts, psychics, ghost hunters, and dowsers all visiting the bridge there has been little agreement between mystery hunters as to the cause of the dog leaping phenomenon. But they are agreed on one overriding fact: it happens!

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
In Norse Mythology the Rainbow Bridge was a walkway that stretched between Midgard (the world) and Asgard, (the realm of the gods.) Those who crossed it did so into the divine world and from the divine world into this one.
The famous Poem "Rainbow Bridge", describes a bridge where dogs cross into the afterlife. Overtoun Bridge is the only real life Rainbow Bridge in the world. It has been dubbed "a thin place" where heaven and earth have overlapped, and where supersensitive dogs are sensing a portal into another world.
