    In my own language - Portuguese - dog owners are just said to be the “dog-owner” (we have a feminine and a masculine version of the word “owner” so it fits nicelly) so the English-language use of “mother” and “father” tends to instinctivelly make me think in a very similar sense as your daughter seems to be using.
