It is not capitalized because it's using a common noun ("a dad"), not a proper one ("Dad"). When you are using the word "Dad" to refer to a specific person, it's standing in place of their name, and thus, like their name, would be capitalized.
There is a common phrase, "I got it from my dad" means I have similar characteristics. For example, I got my musical talent from my dad or I got my looks from my dad is common. However, I got it "off" my dad is not common. Hope this helps!
