bf belongs to DisMaxParams.
Instead try this q={!boost b=boost_score}dog
You can use any valid FuctionQuery as a b paramter.
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/search/BoostQParserPlugin.html
You may want to use parameter referencing also. Where q is harcoded in
solrconfig.xml, something like:
q={!boost b=$bb v=$qq}&qq=dog&bb=%22ord%28sum%28boost_score,1%29%29
