The Tender
Original Release Date: Jan 1, 1990
Bobby Allen, a recovering alcoholic, has always been on the losing end of life. Now, with no money and no prospects, his wife dead of a drug overdose and his ten-year-old daughter to raise, Bobby is at the end of his rope. Desperate for money, he visits his mobster brother-in-law, Cissy. As Bobby presents his business proposition to Cissy, gamblers in the mansion's basement place heavy bets on the upcoming dogfight involving a fearless doberman. Having lost the fight, the dog's owner abandons the animal in an industrial section of Chicago. Bobby's daughter finds the dog and nurses him back to health and during the process, a strong, spiritual bond forms between them.
