Ranger with Stealth Skill and Animal Companion

[claudius]

If your Ranger has stealth skill can that make the Animal Companion more stealthy?

I'm not an expert, but I've been playing with a Ranger PC (and with Sagani) with the Rangers in the back row and the Animal Companions in the front row, and I have to say that as I increase characters' Stealth skill, a) it's extremely obvious when a front row character has lower Stealth than the other characters around them, and b) both of my Rangers have great Stealth and the Animal Companions are never the weakest link in terms of alerting enemies.  So I am like 98% positive that Rangers' Stealth also applies to the Animal Companion.
