Morphology
poo + pirate
The components 'poo' and 'pirate' give a clear topical cue (something to do with feces and a playful agent), so a learner can guess it labels a person/animal involved with poo. However, the exact sense (a person who collects dog waste vs. a dog that buries waste) is a creative, slangy metaphorical extension and not fully predictable from the parts without exposure, so partial inference is possible but not reliable.
Etymology
Poo pirate comes from a funny image: poo is the animal waste and a pirate sneaks around taking or hiding things like treasure. So the name is a playful way to call someone who 'collects animal waste' or a dog that 'buries its waste'.
