That is awesome. If more fanfics had stories like that in them, I roll my eyes so much less when dogs showed up.
That said, reading the further explanation, yeah, I get where this is coming from. I know exactly the story you're talking about and while I didn't read it as that and it DID read in-character in the moment, I can head nod along with this. And I do think the author set it up in-story - at least to my satisfaction - that it was not something that the female character would do without interest on her own terms with input from a partner.
I have a feeling that it wasn't the same story because, trust me, with the story that prompted this, it WAS NOT in character.
