Can I find a figurine that looks like their pet?

Many common dog and cat breeds are available in several colourings. Custom painted pieces based on a photo are also offered by some makers.

Are resin or ceramic figurines better for display?

Resin is lighter and less likely to break if knocked over, while ceramic has a glossier, heavier feel. Both suit indoor shelves.
