I am a bit biased about this but speaking on behalf of dog owners (who always pick up poop and go to leash free parks specifically so we are good neighbours) I can tell you that a dog that barks constantly is under extreme stress and needs attention or help. Definitely, contact the owner but instead of making it an angry attack, let him/her know that you are concerned about the dog's well being in the heat or have concerns about his anxiety. Dogs are not generally "bad"... they are asking for help under their present circumstances. The humans are the problem here, not the dogs, but to maintain good neighbourly relations, it might be best to start nicely...
