This is hard to predict because every dog has a different type of personality. Some dogs are outgoing and interactive, whereas others are more introverted, calm and mellow. So the dogs personality often syncs with their human counterparts personality, which results in a special bond between the two. However in other cases the dog just prefers one person over the other, for no obvious reason at all.
