does this refer specifically to their 'own' milk, or is it ambiguous to if the possessive refers to the topic or another subject? Also, like how in English 'their' is singular and plural, is 'hun' specifically plural, because 'zijn' is can be for 'his, her, its' ?

My wife is Dutch and says the narrator has a really strong regional accent.

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...)
