Ultimate Magic: 'Raise Animal Companion' spell

Does Raise Animal Companion in Ultimate Magic require that you must be the caster casting on your own Animal Companion?

The last part where it says, "Paladin's mount" is confusing me.

Just checking.

You can resurrect anyone's. It states that you can resurrect familiars, which Druids, Rangers and Paladins (casters of the spell) don't have access to.

It is a paladin, ranger and druid spell. So they included the paladin part because the paladin doesn't have an animal companion, but they do have a bonded mount.

IMO you can target any dead bonded mount or dead animal companion with the spell, there doesn't seem to be any restrictive language.

EDIT:
Good point on the familiar.

Just to point out ... as of Ultimate Magic, anyone taking Eldritch Heritage to gain the level 3 Arcane ability would gain a familiar.

So, you could gain a familiar as any of those classes, and then be able to resurrect said familiar.

Yes it can.

If I remember correctly text takes precedence over tables in case of contradictory rules.

Of course, the spell's obviously intended to allow PCs to Raise their special animal friends... but what about when it comes to non-animal Improved Familiars and the like? My imp familiar's an Outsider, right - can this spell Raise him?

IMO yes, it seems like "familar" was left off the targeting line. Need some errata already on UM.
