Original Toronto Star caption: Stopping Eric Allen isn't easy, as tacklers in the Canadian Football League have already discovered. But his 6-month-old Samoyed puppy, Roman, shows how it is done as he frolics with the Argonaut running back on York University's Glendon campus. Allen broke 15 records in illustrious career at Michigan State.
