There are actually many reasons that this could occur. Check if there are any other symptoms such as redness, irritation, or drainage in the eye. The dilation could be related to an eye injury or irritation and may improve on it's own. Also, check to see if the eye constricts when you shine a light into his/her eye. If not, you would probably be best off seeing your vet.

∙ 10y agoThis is a medical problem that should be carefully evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Both eyes should be equally dilated due to the cross-over of nerve fibers between the eyes at the optic chiasma. When the pupils do not dilate to the same degree, it often indicates a problem with either the eye or the brain.

∙ 10y agoMammals (this includes both you and your dog) are all about bilateral symmetry. This includes every aspect of your dog's eyes, and specifically, in this case, his pupils. A particularly interesting aspect of the mammalian oculomotor system is that it responds equally to stimulation. This means that if you shine a light in one of your dog's eyes, both pupils will constrict equally. This is known as the consensual response. So, if you ever notice that your dog's pupils are of unequal size, regardless of the lighting, something is seriously wrong...
