If you read the article and not just the title, the majority of the discussion is using dogs for diagnostics of collected samples. They (for that use) would not be around patients like you so wouldn’t trigger your allergies.

But for those applications, you would probably prefer giant pouched rats that are much cheaper to train and keep.

If they work as well or better for the purpose, then sure.
