Someone else found this before I saw yours, but that is the problem.
I assumed that scaffold would know what the primary key is , because it 
was identified in the migrated schema:

schema.rb

  create_table "dogs", :primary_key => "dog_id", :force => true do |t|
    t.string "color",    :limit => 20
    t.string "gender",   :limit => 20
    t.string "dog_name", :limit => 20
  end


Thanks for your help!
