Morphology
doggy + do
The element 'doggy' clearly signals relation to a dog, but 'do' here is a euphemistic/childish word for excrement rather than the common verb 'do' and is not a standard dictionary sense. Because some learners familiar with child-talk (doo‑doo/doo) can infer 'dog feces' while others who only know the usual senses of 'do' would not predict this meaning, the expression is only partially predictable from its parts.
Etymology
Doggy do is a soft, child-friendly name for a dog's poop. It comes from doggy plus the baby word do, like 'doo-doo', so people say it to mean 'dog poop' in a less rude way.
