I've found the line, "I'd hate to see a good dog have to be put down because you're an irresponsible owner" to be very effective in getting the dog owner's attention.
Yep. People who let their dogs run free in populated areas are just like parents who feed their kids McDonald's every day. Sure, your dog likes to run around the neighborhood. Sure, your 5 year old likes Big Macs. But as a human adult, it is on you to know when something your pet/kid enjoys is not in their own best interest.
