I am not really sure about the significance of a small mummy-like statue on the actual one... Do share in case you know more about it...

Not sure about the statue, but I saw mummies of cats and birds (no dogs though!) at an egyptian museum i went to. They said the pets were mummified and buried along with their owners (also, I don't remember whether the pets were killed to put them with their owners or not!)
