Eyes of an Angel (also known as The Tender) is a movie starring John Travolta and released in 1991 (i.e., the lowest ebb of his career). But the real star is arguably the Dobermann Pinscher that the movie focuses on.Travolta plays a down-on-his-luck guy named Bobby, who works hard (with gangsters) to earn a living for both himself and his sort-of adoptive daughter (Ellie Raab). Said daughter finds the aforementioned dog, who's in bad shape due to injuries sustained during a dog fight and being thrown into a river by its owner, and cares for it until it's fully recovered. The dog eventually begins following her home. However, Bobby won't have any of it, as he's gotten in trouble with gang leader Cissy (Tito Larriva), and both father and daughter have to run away from Chicago to California. The dog follows them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This movie is hard to find on DVD, but it's available on Youtube. Here's part 1.

Androcles' Lion: The girl is the first person to treat the Dobermann with kindness and care, with him being injured, cold and abandoned at the time. So he devotes himself to her completely.

Beastly Bloodsports: Cissy's gang, which includes Bobby, is involved in a dogfighting ring. This environment is where the Dobermann comes from.

Canine Companion: Nothing will stop the Dobermann from being with the girl. Not trains, not the pound, not Bobby's distaste for him, and certainly not the fact that Bobby takes the girl to the other side of the country to escape Cissy while leaving the dog behind.

Based on a True Story: The opening credits claim the film is based on a true story. However, what that story might be hasn't been documented.
