In dogs, the most common cause of partial or hemiparalysis would be a compression point on the spinal cord. This could be due to trauma (such as being hit by a car) or by degenerative changes in the spinal column like a herniated disc. Less common causes would be infectious or autoimmune diseases of the nerves, cancer impinging on a nerve or neurodegenerative disease.
Regardless of cause, you need to take your dog to a veterinarian pretty quick. Whatever is affecting the nerve is only going to get worse, and the longer the process continues, the worse the prognosis for a return to function.

To which side does the face deviates if someone has right side of face paralysis?
If the right side of the person's face was paralyzed, the right side would appear to be shifted lower, while the left would be animated. Facial paralysis is a condition defined by the total lack of voluntary muscle movement on one side of the face. About 75% of facial paralysis is caused by Bell's Palsy, a condition that causes the nerves in the face to become inflamed. Other common causes of facial paralysis include: * Stroke * Brain Tumor * Sarcoidosis * Lyme disease * Infection * Birth trauma in newborns Doctors will ask patients with facial paralysis questions in order to determine the cause. The patient will be asked about medical history, current symptoms of the facial paralysis, whether any other symptoms are present, and whether the patient has recently been sick or injured. Tests to confirm the cause may include blood tests, MRI, CT scan, and electromyography. A combination of physical, speech, and occupational therapy is generally used. In some cases, plastic surgery is used to improve the ability of the eye to close, as well as to improve appearance.

What is in the brain and regulates activities?
The brain is made up of nerve cells (neurons), among other things. Activity, by which I assume you mean motor activity, is regulated by neuronal systems in the precentral gyrus, which is also referred to as the motor cortex. Damage to the motor cortex will cause paralysis on the opposite side of the body (i.e., damage to the right motor cortex causes paralysis on the left side of the body, and vice versa).
How do you treat Bell's Palsy in dogs?
Should be the same as in humans: partial facial paralysis on one side. You might notice it in an animal by observing one side of the face drooping more than the other, particularly in the eye and mouth.
