First, take grid out of BEAUTIFY -- not necessary.
Does db.t_dogs happen to have a field called "name"? If so, change the name
of your extra input element to something other than "name".
Also, when typing in your input field, open the browser developer tools and
see if (a) you get any JavaScript errors in the console and (b) an Ajax
request gets sent to the server.
