Garden Pests and Diseases: What's attacking my lawn?, 1 by greatswede

I have a new problem this year with my lawn. It looks good otherwise but now has about four strips where the grass is gone or almost.

We do have a number of people walking their dogs and I wonder if it could be female dog urinating? On the other hand, the grass in these strips look like they have been chewed down to about 1/2 inch high. We used to have jack rabbits in this area but I don't know if they would cause this.

Any ideas. I'm just wild guessing!
