A 1991 family comedy film directed by Matthew Robbins, Bingo is the story of a boy and a dog separated after the boy's football-player father changes teams and results in the whole family moving out of state.The dog, Bingo, a former circus dog who fears fire, goes on a cross-country hunt to be reunited with his best friend. The movie can easily be summed up as a "talking dog" story where the dog doesn't actually talk; Bingo is highly intelligent and practically sentient, but nearly every other character instantly recognizes this and treats him as though he were human, lending the movie an odd and slightly surreal nature compared to most films of its type.Not a film of the actual Tabletop Game.

From Stray to Pet: Chuckie takes in Bingo off the street, although Bingo wasn't feral. He just was escaping worse owners.

Loony Fan: Hal Devlin comes off like this, with his home completely festooned in the team colors for the Denver Broncos. Played with in that he's not just a fan - he's their placekicker. And when he gets traded to the Green Bay Packers, his new home is as decked with green and yellow as much as his old home was in orange and blue.

Amplified Animal Aptitude: Bingo can use a public phone and while he can't speak he knows Morse code, he can also conduct a car (not drive, since he can't reach the pedals and has to rely on his dog friends to push the car from behind).
