The scene in which Buddy rescues Morrie from the burning car is not as far-fetched and 'Disneyfied' as one might imagine. In 2017, it was reported that a man in Seattle, WA, who was paralyzed from the neck down, started to fall forward in his chair. As the man's home health aide had stepped out to run an errand, the man's service dog had the presence of mind to wedge himself between the man's upper and lower body to ensure that he could keep breathing. When the man's home health aide returned, the dog waited until the man was returned to sitting and only then extricated himself, at which point he walked to a corner of the room and collapsed in exhaustion. The man estimated that the dog had maintained his position for the better part of an hour.
