Polarexpress (and others) make really good points... I think the point about your dog might be extra compelling - if you are too afraid to speak up for yourself, then you can be strong enough to protect your dog.
Please talk to another family member or someone at school. If nothing else, if you still don't say anything to your parents, at least you have folks outside of your household who will be looking out for you and checking in on you. We all want to do that for you, but you need someone who is right there.
Sending good vibes for STRENGTH to talk to your parents again about your very valid fears and concerns. Good luck!!
