Story of Bingo
Bingo starts out as a circus dog. His owners, Steve and Ginger, don't really care much about him. They only use him when their main dog, Lauren, can't perform. One day, Bingo is supposed to jump through a "Ring of Fire." But Bingo is scared of fire because of something that happened when he was a puppy. He can't do the trick.
Because of this, his owners decide they don't want him anymore. Bingo is left all alone. He soon meets Chuckie Devlin (Robert J. Steinmiller Jr.), a boy who feels a bit like an outsider in his own family.
Chuckie and Bingo quickly become the best of friends. They do everything together! They go skateboarding, play pinball, and even work on Chuckie's math homework. Bingo is a very smart dog.
However, Chuckie's parents, Natalie (Cindy Williams) and Hal (David Rasche), find out about Bingo. They are moving across the country and say Bingo cannot come with them. This makes Chuckie very sad.
The family leaves for their new home, but Bingo doesn't give up. He decides to follow them! This starts a long and funny journey for Bingo. He faces many challenges and meets different people along the way.
Bingo gets into all sorts of trouble. He even ends up in jail for a short time! He also has to escape from some bad guys, including a butcher named Duke (Glenn Shadix). Duke wants to use dogs for his restaurant.
Through it all, Bingo's main goal is to find Chuckie again. He travels across many states, showing how determined and loyal he is. Will Bingo finally reunite with his best friend? You'll have to watch to find out!
