Really CNN?
Long before I was dispelling eco-advice, I worked as a dog walker while in graduate school, and one of my charges was a Great Dane — so I know how big a task cleaning up after your pooch can be. Pooches produce an average of 274 pounds of waste a year. (I’m guessing that amount is doubled for bigger dogs like Great Danes.)
You can technically compost dog waste but treat it like you would human waste while backwoods camping: Bury it in the ground — and bury it deep.
Do not mix dog waste with food scraps and other organic waste that you compost in the worm bin. Dog waste, as you might know, can contain hard-to-kill, disease-carrying pathogens, so you don’t want it mixing with your normal compost-to-fertilizer mix. If you fertilize edible plants with the stuff, you’re putting yourself at serious risk.
