Ok, I love dogs but for me, this is not about dogs.
This is about boundaries and respect. Your roommate seems to have neither.
So...yes, you need to sit down and talk to her/him about it.
If I were you, I would write a letter to get the anger out first. Then I would write another in a more reasonable tone and then I would sit down and talk to the roommate about the situation.
You have every right to be angry and feel taken advantage of. Is this the first time your roommate has shown a complete disregard for your feelings and wishes??
If so, this is a HUGE red flag!
Good luck.
