My 'hood sounds like Fallujah after a three-week bender.
My neighbors, who already ignore their poor dog except to yell at him, went off to the downtown fireworks show, leaving the pooch in the backyard as always.
The poor guy is terrified of fireworks. I mean, foam at the mouth, race in circles, panicked terror of fireworks.
So, Freedom Fiends, I turn to y'all for a judgment call.
Is it a social faux pas if I give the poor pup some Benadryl-laced treats if it's for his own good?

Yep. It's your idiot neighbor's dog, not yours.
BTW, my fearsome, 115 pound, chicken-hearted, police dog is lying at my feet, unconcerned, as the neighborhood explodes, courtesy of two benys.
If a treat with one beny happens to fall over the fence.....
Yes, it is not your dog and therefore the "what if the situation was reversed?" rule has to be used. If your idiot neighbor was to slip some sedatives into your dog for some reason that he thought was valid, how would you feel?
A better way to treat the dog is to call the humane society and drop a dime on the idiot.
If it's your dog, yes, but consult a vet first, to get the dose right. But you're leaving yourself to serious legal problems if you do it to your neighbor's dog. And what if you accidently O.D. the dog? Like anon said, drop a dime on the idiot. It sounds like he shouldn't have a dog.
