Interspecies Sexual Attraction By Non-Human Animals

We take for granted that there will always be a certain percentage of people who have who have either an innate or inculcated sexual attraction towards non-human animals, but are there any studies involving the same phenomenon in non-human animals? Certainly it is far more common for male dogs to attempt to engage in sexual activity with humans than vice versa. Almost as certainly, not all of those attempts can be relegated to displays of dominance.
 
I am unsure non-humans can feel romantic attraction, they may have a good relationship with you but not because you are human but thanks to the fact you listen to their needs.

I know some studies found in the really good French book "Le comportement de mon chien - Charlotte Duranton" you can look into:
Previde, E.P., Valsecchi, P. (2014). The immaterial cord : the dog - human attachement bond.

Mariti, C., Carlone, B., Ricci, E., Sighnieri, C., Gazzano, A. (2014). Intraspecific attachement in adult domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) : preliminary results. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 152, 64-72
