I don't know why you'd just shoot a dog for the hell of it if it was running about somewhere it wasn't supposed to be. Unless it was obviously wild/dangerous and threatening to attack you or your dog or stock.
Of the few times I've run into dogs while hunting, all of them I called the dogs and they've come to me and followed me out to where I've found the owner/owners truck. All of those times the owners have been very apologetic for losing track of them and thankful to me/us for looking after their mutts.
