Dog feces in compost?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is dog poop OK in the compost bin?
Thanks,

Sure, in small amounts in a hot bin or an active worm pile.
I wouldn't put large amounts in a cold compost pile or directly in a
vegetable garden.
I can't cite a reference, but I've read in several places that dog and
cat waste can carry disease and should not be used in a garden. But it
won't last very long in a working compost bin (even human waste can be
used in a garden if it's from a properly designed composting toilet.)
