Pathfinder doesn't really support character levels beyond 20, so you're on your own here. Basically everything you need for your problem falls into the domain of house rules. For example, there is no progression for companions beyond level 20. Also, adding templates like Half-Dragon to an animal companion is not within the normal scope of the rules.

Here another example why people aren't get it. Rules are just guide lines. Think Positive and just imageinate the possibilities go out side the box. I am just trying with the creativity of the game.

Well this is the rules forum where the rules are more than guidelines, and your question can't be answered within the framework of these rules. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do what you want to do. By all means, you are of course free to do stuff like that, but no matter what, whatever you do falls outside the Pathfinder rule set and is basically house rules.

As long as we're thinking outside the box, how about a Protean animal companion with levels in Inquisitor?
Shouldn't an animal companion be ... well, an animal?

The rules have already been tossed, so why confine ourselves?
Besides, a protean inquisitor would probably spontaneously combust, no? Think of the blast damage.
EDIT: Oops, I am informed that inquisitors don't have to be lawful. My bad. Protean with levels in Monk, then.
BOOM!

Why go with the mundane supernatural, when you could go with something seriously wack?
Have the druid/summoner have a bunny as animal companion. Yes. A level 40 bunny (with all the natural armor, str/dex bonus, etc) that this implies.
he's got huge sharp... he can leap about... look at the bones!
Sorry, could not resist :p

By extrapolating the Animal Companion level chart and using the RAW (more or less,) I think I've crafted a pretty ridiculous level 40 animal for you. Pretty sure all my math is right and I didn't add any equipment other than a suit of +5 leather armor.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Spur (Ex)
A platypus that manages to grapple a foe may choose to use the spurs on its hind feet to pierce its held prey instead of its bite. Only male platypuses possess poison. Spur—injury; save Fort DC 36; frequency 1/rd, 4rds; effect 1d4 Str damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Link (Ex)
A druid can handle her animal companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if she doesn’t have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion.
Share Spells (Ex)
The druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid may cast spells on her animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type (animal).
Evasion (Ex)
If an animal companion is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw.
Devotion
An animal companion gains a +4 morale bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells and effects.
Ability Score Increase (Ex)
The animal companion adds +1 to any one of its ability scores.
Multiattack
An animal companion gains Multiattack as a bonus feat if it has three or more natural attacks and does not already have that feat. If it does not have the requisite three or more natural attacks, the animal companion instead gains a second attack with its primary natural weapon, albeit at a –5 penalty.
Improved Evasion (Ex)
When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, an animal companion takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and only half damage if the saving throw fails.
Have fun storming the outback.
