This string directs the flow of the urine away from the body, and you won't have any splatters. This link gives more details, read "Trimming Urination Area of a Dog."

Aha! Ben had this naturally and they cut it too short at the groomers. I think this is why I am now noticing he is getting too messy underneath. I have taken the baby wipes to him when he comes in and that helps immensely. But now that you have pointed out the "pee string" I will make sure the groomer knows to let that little strand of hair stay a bit longer.
