Hi,

1.)Talking about my dog(which is male and I said his name already) .. I obtained IT/HIM from my uncle ... ?

For pets and animals that we have some personal attachment to, we commonly say him/her.


 

2.)I play with my neighbour and his dog WHICH/WHO is the twin of my dog. You could say either, based on my comment above.

 

I don't usually hear people use the word 'twin' for an animal.

Let me suggest "litter mate": My neighbor's dog is a litter mate of my own.
