On the contrary, I've been on more than one Dash 8 when a man boarded with a giant German Shepherd service dog that quickly fit himself nicely under the seat in front of his owner. The issue identified in the story (links above) is that the the man with the service dog was not given one of the available seats with space in front for the dog, though apparently there were four empty seats and plenty of opportunity for the FA to do the right thing.
