Interesting you say "simplest to proceed", agreed it would be easy to
use your simplistic method. The simplest being the best for who you
and not the dog?

Not knowing how the dog has been treated in the past leaves you and
the dog open to making things worst. Your "simplest to proceed" method
is is far from the best for the dog.

When you have no idea of the dog's history, it's simplest to proceed as
if the animal has a similar history to other dogs its age.
