When there are light-colored stripes on a darker coat, it’s called a reverse brindle. These striped dogs can have the brindle pattern all over their bodies or just in certain spots.

East Tennessee Boxer Rescue earlier this month took in the dog. Amanda Asbury, ETBR's director and founder, soon discovered the reverse brindle pup suffered the worst case of anxiety she's seen.
