Well, I’ve been thinking, we need a good nickname for Cardinal Levada now that he is the head of CDF.
Hmm, let’s see, if Ratzinger was "God’s Rottweiler" and we want to continue the canine theme … how about "The Golden Retriever" for Levada?
"Golden" because of Levada’s San Francisco origins (the Golden Gate bridge…) and "Retriever" because many people consider him to be a glorified messenger boy for the ex-head of CDF, Il Papa himself.
Huh? Dig it? Someone wanna bite? Does it have wings? 
If some brave soul wants to photoshop something together I’d be much obliged. 
Interesting nickname and time will tell it’s aptness. I might not be a brave soul or at least not brave enough to photohop the prefect of the CDF’s head on a dog’s body, but I attempted something else.
My only hope is that he doesn’t turn out to be God’s puffy dog – a show dog with no teeth.

The Prefect has answered this question himself:
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
“Asked how he felt about his sudden transformation into the ‘chief doctrinal watchdog’ of the 1.1 billion-member church, Levada replied:
“‘Well. I would say I’m more of a cocker spaniel than a rottweiler.'”
I was thinking more along the lines of “God’s Bichon Frise”.
B16 isn’t God’s Rottweiler… he’s our German Shepherd.
(hee-hee…. woof)
