Obviously your mate's dog is not a pup which might make it even more difficult to be able to contain / restrain a big, heavy dog. There is a danger that a little Corgi who doesn't take some control over events (eg tell the bigger dog to bug off), could bear the brunt of overbearing boisterousness.
Your Bella has territory rights both in canine terms and human terms ie she became part of the establishment well before your mate's dog did. So therefore, your flatmate (or room mate) has to control his dog and quickly train the dog to treat Bella much more gently or otherwise stay away, on more than one count.
My Taylor would simply not put up with a newcomer taking charge and throwing his/her weight around, and would have very quickly made known his feelings.
