From John's lap in the car, Marley jumps partway out the window and walks with his front paws on the road while the car is moving. This scene was filmed in separate shots. The dog was trained to perform the action in this scene one step at a time. The dog was first cued to move across the actor's lap, and then stick its head out the window. Its feet never touched the ground while the car was already in motion. Then, the dog was equipped with a safety harness and placed in a stationary car, and the trainer placed the dog's front paws on the road (while its rear end was still on the actor's lap). Once its front paws were on the ground, the car slowly moved forward a very short distance while the dog "walked" on its front legs with the actor supporting its torso and back legs. The actress driving the car and the actors driving nearby vehicles were all extremely well-rehearsed to drive slowly and for a short distance.
