On a 1.6 crop camera at 20mm focal length this would mean the pet needs to be no more than 1m from the camera.
Checking with the DOF calculator, at 20mm and f/16 if you focus at 1.5m, the DOF should start around 70cm and go to infinity, so the whole thing would work.
With a 50mm on the same 1.6 crop camera, the toy needs to be closer than 2.5m, with f/16 focussing at 3.5m you'd have only a DOF from 2.4 to 6m, with the hyperfocal distance being over 8m. You would need f/32 (focussing at 4.5m) with that lens to get the right proportions. f/22 would give you only a DOF to 17m or so.
To sum all those number up: Wide angle lenses are good for these type of pictures, small sensors with big crop factors too.

I think I used my 10-22 for the shot with the Sisters in the background.
I have a couple of different DOF calculators in my iPod.
Thanks again for the info.
