Using manure - human or dog has been the subject of some controversy. Both can harbor pathogens that could infest soil. I think using it is a matter of personal choice. Right it is all biology. I would just make sure that any raw feces used in a garden was well composted and subjected to the heat of a well tended compost pile or bokashi as Dave suggested.

I put my dog poop in an out of the way corner of my yard -- a space not likely to be used as a food garden.

On the other hand I do use raw rabbit poop. It will go under the cardboard along with shredded paper, and yard prunings.
