I like to go on Forvo.com to get a second take on the pronunciations, where it is an actual person saying the words not a computer program

That's true, but the phrase wouldn't make sense with "hond" in place of "hun". Most of times, we've to deal with such accents (try to listen french from Marseille...)
When it comes to possesive pronouns: Hun means "Their" that is, belonging to them. Zijn means "His" or "Its" that is, belonging to him or belonging to it.
When it comes to object pronouns: Hem means "him" Hun/Hen means "them", however Hen seems to be the more literary form, whereas most dutch people supposedly use Hun, so it would be better to stick with that in my opinion.
Hope I helped.
