Without an official answer (and actually, even with one), we need to go for a solution that leave enough room for customization. Is it possible to add an Adjustment just for raising the character's Effective Druid Level for Animal Companion?
Enjeruookami, I read both texts, Animal Companion and Natural Bond in the original source, and I stand my interpretation. Outside an official answer on the matter, I stand my interpretation of the RAW, although I'm not necessarily against your interpretation as a valid option. But we need to code RAW here, not common sense.
