I think that dogs in general do follow the pack family. I know that Remmy treats my daughter very differently than he does me. I believe that he thinks he is higher than her in the pack.
Basically if he challenges her she backs off. I have told her that she needs to make him understand that she is above him in the pack order but she just looks at me like I'm crazy!
He had never bitten her but he will growl at her if she tries to move him or make him do something that he does not want to. Remmy has NEVER growled at me or my husband.
