Eyes of an Angel is a 1991 American drama film starring John Travolta and directed by Robert Harmon.

The film was shot predominantly in Chicago with some pickups and reshoots in Los Angeles.

Travolta plays Bobby Allen, a down-on-his-luck single father and recovering alcoholic whose wife died of a drug overdose.

She takes care of the dog over her father's objections, until Bobby is betrayed by Cissy, who blames him for his sister's death.

Desperate, Bobby steals Cissy's money and flees with the girl to California, leaving the dog behind.

When Cissy shows up, Bobby says he has a business opportunity for him, a dry cleaning store.

In the garage, the man in the station wagon opens the back to reveal a Doberman Pinscher, muzzled, in a small metal cage.

A white pit bull is on one side being held by a man, while the Doberman's cage is on the other.

The next morning, Baby takes money from an envelope hidden in the headboard of a bed, and buys a cigarette lighter, which she has giftwrapped.

She cares for him as best she can, and he follows her home, and from there into a subway station, where he is captured by animal control employees.

Baby and Alan distract the worker by dropping some money, and quietly lifting the latch on the kennel, then they leave.

They take him out to a remote bridge area, accuse him of being short, and drag him out of the car where the proceed to beat him.

He tells her they are taking a trip and to pack a bag very quickly, then meet him at the steps of the park.

At a truck stop, Bobby explains that they are going to Los Angeles and lies and says that Cissy loaned it to him for the trip.

Late that night, the dog arrives at the truck stop and finds the girl's glove.

While filling up the gas tank, Bobby asks if he should call George.

While he makes the call, the girl goes to the side of the gas station and leaves a sock on the road.

As George and his family eat dinner, Cissy's two goons show up asking where Bobby is.

The dog arrives at the same bridge the girl stood on a few nights ago, and picks up her scent.

The crowd's cheers die down and she begs Bobby to make them stop hurting her dog.

They stop the fight and break up the dog, and the Doberman runs over to the girl.

Despite the star appeal of Travolta, actor Michael Douglas being an executive producer, and having a soundtrack from Randy Edelman, Eyes of an Angel seemed to gain little attention upon its release.
