An epileptic woman has shared the miraculous moment her two dogs spotted she was having a seizure.
In a now-viral video shared on TikTok that has been viewed a staggering 4.9 million times, the US-based woman, Jaime Simpson, is seen lying in bed while her two service dogs, Australian shepherd Echo and golden retriever Everest, are relaxing on the floor.
The mother-of-one, who has epilepsy, was on the verge of an epileptic seizure when the dogs suddenly picked up the scent.
Echo jumped up to a nearby table and brought rescue medication to Jaime in his mouth, while Everest pressed the emergency contact button with his nose to alert Jaime's partner, Ruben, who made sure she was OK.
When both dogs noticed Jamie had not yet taken her medication, they each nudged her hand and pushed it towards her.

'This is why we record everything and travel with a home camera,' Jaime wrote in the caption of the video. 'It's beneficial for advocacy and safety.'
Jaime was also able to notify her list of caregivers of the incident with her seizure watch.
Dogs can detect an odor that is linked to epileptic seizures and may be able to predict impending episodes, according to a 2019 study carried out by The University of Rennes in France.
Jaime posted the video to TikTok, where it has been viewed almost five million times and has earned thousands of comments.
'Service dogs will never cease to absolutely amaze me. What amazing lil buddies we have here on earth with us,' one person gushed.
'That's amazing how they both did different tasks and knew what to do,' another agreed.
Jaime has been training Echo and Everest as a service dogs for several months, posting videos of the process on her TikTok account and revealing how they help to keep her safe.
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by unpredictable seizures. The condition has a wide range of seizure types and control varying from person to person.
There are 3.4 million people in the US alone who have epilepsy, according to the Epilepsy Foundation. The seizure disorder may be related to a brain injury, genetics, immune, brain structure, or metabolic cause, but the cause often remains unknown.
Seizure medicines are the most common form of treatment. They don't cure the condition, but they can help to stop or reduce seizures.
@embracingecho This morning the dogs prevented an epileptic seizure. Echo immediately picked up scent and it almost looked like Everest did too. Typically, Everest goes off of Echo’s alert and responds by triggering the emergency button with his nose. Echo brought rescue medication to prevent the seizure. Ruben received the call from the button and made sure I was okay. Both dogs noticed I hadn’t taken the medication yet and each nudged my hand and pushed it towards me. I notified my list of caregivers of the incident with my seizure watch. Once the seizure scent passed, Echo relaxed a bit and Everest celebrated with his Benebone. This is why we record everything and travel with a home camera. It’s beneficial for advocacy and safety. #ServiceDogs #SeizureResponseDogs #DisabilitySupport #SeizurePrevention #LifesavingDogs #EpilepsyAwareness

WHAT IS EPILEPSY?
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by unpredictable seizures.
Seizures occur when there is a sudden burst of electrical activity in the brain, which causes a disruption to the way it works.
Someone is said to have epilepsy if they experience two or more unprovoked seizures separated by at least 24 hours or after one seizure with a high risk for more.
There are 3.4 million people in the US alone who have epilepsy.
The condition has a wide range of seizure types and control varying from person to person.
The seizure disorder may be related to a brain injury, genetics, immune, brain structure, or metabolic cause, but the cause often remains unknown.
Seizure medicines are the most common form of treatment. They don't cure the condition, but they can help to stop or reduce seizures.
Other types of treatment include surgery, neurostimulation devices, dietary therapy, and clinical trials.
