East Rockaway resident Marc Rovner, an award winning attorney, has served BETA Abstract, LLC., of Oceanside, NY in a variety of roles, including general counsel and director of business development, since joining the major title insurance company in 1998. Marc Rovner is also an active supporter of animal rescues and charities in the East Rockaway area. He is particularly supportive of Puppy Love Pet Rescue and, along with his daughters, has helped find homes for more than 100 puppies. There are a number of reasons to consider adopting a dog from a shelter rather than purchasing a puppy from a reputable breeder. That said, some individuals and families may be apprehensive about adopting a dog without knowing the animal’s full background. Fortunately, there are a few behavioral cues and physical traits potential dog owners can look for as they attempt to identify the perfect match for their home and lifestyle. General observation is one of the more obvious and effective ways of gauging a dog’s attitude. Individuals should begin by observing the dog’s behavior from a distance before slowly approaching the kennel and assuming a neutral, non-threatening position. In these moments, a dog may show itself as affectionate, needy, aggressive, submissive, or some combination of these and other reactions. Dogs that remain amiable over the course of general observation can be interacted with in a variety of additional ways, from lowering one’s self to one knee to petting and physically engaging the animal. Dogs that have passed the general observation stage should be taken for a walk. Again, some dogs may be perfectly trained to walk on a lease, while others might act frightened of or threatened by the world around them. After a walk, potential dog owners should take the animal to a secluded, quiet room and gauge the animal’s interest in playtime or a short training session. It should be noted that these are basic tips for assessing a shelter dog. Shelters can often provide some additional information on the animal, including its family history and any relevant behavioral incidents. Furthermore, a dog that behaves aggressively in a kennel is not necessarily an aggressive dog, but may require more attention and effort at home. For a more thorough assessment, individuals may need to foster the dog for several days and consult with a trusted veterinarian.

Marc Rovner attended Boston University where he was privileged to have Howard Zinn as a professor. Zinn is the author of A People’s History of United States: 1492-Present.
Howard Zinn, an author, professor, playwright, and activist, addressed a number of issues in his work, including race, class, war, and history. He wrote dozens of books, including A People’s History of the United States, Marx in Soho, Vietnam: The Logic of Withdrawal, and SNCC: The New Abolitionists. Zinn was born in 1922 and served in World War II as an Air Force pilot. It was during that time that he developed and solidified the antiwar views that he held throughout his life. After the war and the completion of his academic degrees, Zinn worked for a short time at Spelman College where he was actively involved in the civil rights movement. As a result of activities associated with the civil rights movement, he was asked to resign and became a professor at Boston University, where he worked until he retired in 1988. A People’s History is Howard Zinn’s most influential book, selling over 2 million copies since its first printing in 1980. The book looks at history from the bottom up, telling the nation’s story through the point of view of ordinary people experiencing significant events throughout America’s history. Though it has recently met with controversy, A People’s History remains one of the most widely read books on the history of the United States.
