It really depends, I think. I love dogs, unfortunately my experience with them in the workplace (for me, the office) has been negative on the balance when they're a regular feature.
My boss at one job brought in his Doberman cross, it would always hang out in the room me and my coworkers used, and would fart regularly and copiously. The room wasn't ventilated, and the boss's solution was to come in and spray a half can of air freshener if we complained. It smelt as bad as you'd imagine. I loved patting and walking the dog during down time, but damn, it was stinky.
That being said, if the workspace were larger, and ventilated, I'd be totally on board.
It sounds like the issue there was the poorly ventilated workplace and stupid boss, not the dog
