You gotta go at it indirectly.
Assuming you've got a directory (or directory structure) like:

Then the following pipe ought to give you what you're looking for:
> test=> find . -print | egrep ' |_' | grep foo | grep dog
> ./1foo_ aa_bb_cc.dog
> ./5foo_aa_bb_cc.dog
> ./6foo_aa_bb_cc.dog
> ./2foo_aa_bbbb_cc.dog
> ./4foo_aa_bb_cc.dog
> ./3foo_aa_bb _ccc.dog
> test=>
Should you wish to further process that file-list by extending the
pipe, you'll need to surround the filenames with single quotes.
Hope this helps'ildy,
