This statue of Festivus, the first Soul Retriever, can be found in downtown Frederick, Maryland.
The Soul Retriever is, so far as I know, the first dog ever created by a religious order, the Reformed Druids of North America founded at Carleton College in 1964.
The Soul Retriever breeding project was initiated by Robert Monroe, who reportedly crossed a dog believed to be a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Tibetan Spaniel mix with a working (non-AKC) Peruvian Inca Orchid Dog. A calm and phlegmatic dog resulted, and it was noted that a walk through the woods resulted in an expanded consciousness. Festivus was inbred back to his Chesapeake Bay/Tibetan sire to fix the type, and thus the breed was born.
Today, Soul Retrievers are bred within a closed registry maintained in secrecy by the Flint Hills Grove of the New Order Reformed Druids of North America, which is headquartered in Adamstown, Maryland.

He was bred back to his sire? This dog is truly a marvel of material transcendence. No wonder they are used for soul retrieval.

You of little faith.
As we all know, Jesus was the product of immaculate conception according to the dogma of the Catholic Church.
According to the dogma of the Reformed Druids of North America, the same basic biology was at work when canine gay sex produced the Soul Retriever.
Bow your head with me now. Let us pray.
