retrieving
Bringing something back
Retrieving is the act of getting something back or fetching it from where it was stored or left.
Dogs are praised for retrieving thrown objects; computers retrieve files from memory.
The word implies the thing existed or was known before: I'm still retrieving my password, retrieving data from the server.
In hunting, retrieving specifically means a dog's work of fetching downed game.
