I've done so in the past. It's basically lifting the Specialized modifier from Speak with Animals and applying it to Animal Friend.

There's already a Perk version of Animal Empathy limited similarly, so why not?

Eh, it pings my munchkinization warning a little, but I'd probably let (only [one species] -80%) fly on Animal Friend for a species that isn't central to the campaign. Animal skills are usually fairly marginal. If the game is going to be entirely about horse racing, then I'd get a lot more skeptical about only Horses, and not just here, but otherwise, sure why not?
