Summary:
The companion trait does not work properly. I changed the name of the heartling with the trait, and it did spawn the animal. But it was not the animal that the trait described, and the animal says that it is befriended with the old heartling (before I changed its name.) Steps to reproduce:
Create new game.
Get a heartling with the Companion Trait.
Change the heartling’s name.
Create Game.
Click the animal companion and read it’s description.
Expected Results:
The right animal, befriended to the right person/name.
Actual Results:
Wrong animal, Wrong person.

I’ve had this issue too, though it was remedied shorty thereafter by my poor squirrel Twigs starving to death because he refused to eat berries. I was really sad, and my poor carpenter was devastated. Then I realized being walled in with carnivorous squirrels probably isn’t the best idea…
The owner’s name of the pet is shown in the unit frame.
But when I modify the owner’s name, the name in the pet’s unit frame still remain the same.
I suppose it’s a bug?
