There is no more honorable action than rescuing someone’s life. Often, it’s unfeasible to accomplish this without endangering your own, but if such is not the case, there is absolutely no justification to refrain from it.
Nikki Epie, a trainee at a veterinary clinic, best exemplified this when she volunteered her Labrador and Golden Retriever mix to provide blood for another dog in distress.
Meanwhile, the staff at the clinic managed to locate another blood donor. Nonetheless, her five-year-old dog named Pipay remained available for potential needs of other dogs in the future.
A month later, that moment arrived, and Pipay’s opportunity had finally come.
An Honorable Act That Rescued A Life
At 1:30 a.m., her phone rang in the dead of night, and upon noticing that it was from Highland Vets Animal Clinic, Nikki instantly suspected what the call was about. The clinic informed her that they urgently required a blood donor for a puppy that had no hemoglobin.
Being informed that the puppy wouldn’t make it to sunrise without a blood transfusion, Nikki quickly leaped out of bed and began rousing Pipay.
After a few annoyed yawns, Pipay finally woke up, and when she realized they were departing for a walk, her enthusiasm kicked in.
Sadly, this only created challenges for Nikki as she had to “chase” her for 15 minutes to eventually get her into the vehicle. Fortunately, the clinic was nearby, so after all the troubles, they still managed to reach on time.
As soon as she was brought in, Pipay was sedated. Subsequently, it took a bit longer to locate her vein because, as Nikki mentioned, Pipay was “a bit too chubby.”
Fortunately, everything turned out positively, and the puppy received the essential blood that preserved his life. Nikki also shared a video on her TikTok profile documenting all the events of that night.

Viewers Were Thrilled
Since Nikki uploaded the video on her TikTok account, @nikkichang, numerous TikTok users had the chance to witness this noble act of life-saving.
As a result, the video garnered considerable attention and sparked various reactions, leading us to emphasize some of the remarks.
“God bless you po and your dog! The poor puppy appears really weak; I hope the little one recovers.” one user commented.
“He’s like a retired superhero saying, ‘Someone requires saving again?? Alright then!’ HAHAHAHA CUTIE BEST DOGGO!” another wrote.
Even the notable @weratedogs account chimed in, stating: “Such a good girl ❤️”.
Many commenters also expressed curiosity about how Pipay felt afterward and the status of the puppy. Nikki had encouraging news for everyone.
“My dog is back to her cheerful, healthy self after that,” Nikki informed Newsweek. “We arrived home around 4 a.m. because I had to wait until she could walk independently, given she weighs approximately 29 kilograms and I couldn’t carry her if I didn’t wait for her grogginess to subside.”
Regarding the puppy, he is stable and, most importantly, experiencing a successful recovery, ensuring that this heartwarming tale has concluded with a delightful ending.
