David Fait Obituary

David Iwinski wrote a sympathy message

“Dave Fait was a friend and had an utterly spectacular connection with dogs. We rescue and rehabilitate and it was only through Dave’s patient guidance, explanations and training that some very severely damaged dogs found their way to revive their inner puppy and find joy and happiness again. His methods were direct and, at times, tough but there was no question that his exacting guidance and instruction was based wholly on his intense compassion and desire to help these animals reach their full potential and live a happy life in concert with their human owners. One hour lessons often stretched into two without complaint and whenever you called, night or day, Dave would do his best to help. Dave’s guidance has already transformed the latest member of our pack, Charlie, and I can tell you we will all, man and animal, deeply miss him. My sadness that his departure is tempered by the fact that he will be greeted enthusiastically by many whose lives he transformed, including our sweet girl Coco who left us one week ago and who was one of Dave’s early students. The mold was broken when this man was made and I doubt I will ever meet another like him. Rest in peace, Dave.”
