Most children have a favorite parent, at least for a period of their time growing up, and one golden retriever puppy was no different when she showed clear favoritism for her human father.

The cream-shaded puppy named Polly was captured swatting her mom's attempt at a cuddle away in favor of her dad stroking her in a newly viral social media video.

The TikTok post, which has been viewed more than 800,000 times since it was first shared to the platform on July 24, showed the picky pup lapping up attention from her dad while using her paw to move her mom's hand away from her.

It's pretty clear who Polly's favorite owner is, but there are no hard feelings here as the golden retriever's owners who manage her account laughed the situation off in the post.

"Mumma trying to give you cuddles but you are a daddy's girl," had been comically written across the post to sum up the hilarious moment.

The viral video had been captioned: "Daddy's girl through and through." And an updated version of the clip had been captioned, "paws off please."

Golden retrievers are among America's most popular dog breeds, according to the American Kennel Club. The pet registry describes goldens as being devoted companions with an "exuberant" temperament.

Since it was shared to the social media platform by the account that houses all of Polly's funny moments, @MissPolly_The_Goldie, the TikTok post has been liked by over 82,000 users and commented on more than 5,200 times.
