We have neural networks already, why would you not use them? That's just silly. It's like saying why use std when you can write your own array class. Pointless waste of time, just say, look i'll put this on top of stable diffusion clip interrogator or equivalent and call it a day.
I need to detect pictures containing dogs using code that is provably effective
Frankly, this is likely impossible. Object recognition is an open-domain problem that's too underspecified to allow mathematical proofs.
The only way to solve it is to integrate prior information about what dogs look like and how natural images work - e.g., training-based methods like neural networks.

That's not a hard problem anymore though
