Bingo is a 1991 American family comedy film directed by Matthew Robbins and released by TriStar Pictures.

Bingo, a runaway circus dog saves the life of Chuckie (Robert J. Steinmiller Jr.), a young boy who is somewhat an outcast within his family. The two quickly become best friends — skateboarding, playing pinball, and doing math homework together. But Chuckie's parents discover the stowaway pooch and make it clear that Bingo will not accompany them on their cross-country move.

Plot

Bingo is an outcast circus dog whose owners, Steve (Simon Webb) and Ginger (Suzie Plakson), pay little attention to. Their star puppy, Lauren, develops an infection from having stepped on a nail, so they use Bingo in place of her for their next act, The Ring of Fire. But Bingo is afraid of fire, having lost his mother to a fire as a puppy, and chickens out. In rage of the embarrassment, Steve and Ginger tell Bingo to start over and find a new family.
