Zeus and Roxanne

To be blunt, Zeus is no Benji and Roxanne is no Flipper, but Steve Guttenberg is Steve Guttenberg, and that in itself should send more sensitive viewers fleeing from the room. Kathleen Quinlan stars as a marine biologist who desperately needs grant money to continue her study of Roxanne, a dolphin. A buffed Guttenberg co-stars as her new neighbor, a musician and single parent whose "extremely extreme dog" bonds with Roxanne. The pursuit of grant money isn't the sort of drama likely to engage young viewers (an unscrupulous rival also has his eyes on the prize, not to mention Roxanne), but they will surely delight in the considerable "awwww" footage of the resourceful and mischievous Zeus, and the playful leaps and underwater derring-do of Roxanne.
