I hope they neuter the dog now, but I doubt it. I FORBID my Mother from getting my sister's kids another dog when they were growing up. They would get a dog, do NO training whatsoever and dump the dog at the pound when it became destructive, or barked all the time out of boredom. After my placing their last one ( a VERY large male Golden) I told her if they got another dog I was taking it and placing it immediately.
