What happens

Bingo is a 1991 American family comedy film directed by Matthew Robbins from a script by Jim Strain. The film follows Bingo, a clever runaway circus dog who goes on a cross-country search to find Chuckie (Robert J. Steinmiller Jr.), a boy he befriended. Along the way, Bingo gets into various adventures with colorful characters. Bingo was portrayed by Lace, a female border collie adopted from a shelter. Principal photography began on September 12, 1990. The film was released to theaters on August 9, 1991 by Tri-Star Pictures. It was a box office disappointment and received mostly negative reviews. The film is intended as a parody of boy-and-his-dog films and has elements of absurdist humor and dark comedy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
