I don't know whether there has been a modern reinterpretation. The way i remember being taught in school, Muslims are allowed to keep dogs for hunting and guarding purposes, but we are not allowed to touch them (except perhaps on the head?), or let them into our houses.
Not sure what exactly has changed except perhaps we don't hunt much any more.

The evidence is that the original rules were probably much less strict, but over the years various scholars tighten some rules just to be on the safe side, or to see more devout than everyone else. So it will depend on which modern expert you talk to.
