The ridgebackI'm not sure that I spelled the name right. One of the things that set them appart from other dogs is the fact that there is a stripe of hair on their backs which goes in the opposite direction of the rest of the fur.

However, there is a breed of Dog that was originally used to hunt Lions in Africa which is called the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
