The noun 'dad' is a common noun, a general word for a male parent; a word for any dad of anyone.

A common noun is capitalized only when it's the first word in a sentence.

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing. When the male parent is your dad, you call him 'Dad' which is a proper noun as his title. As a proper noun is always capitalized.

Examples:

Jack's dad will pick us up. (common noun)

I made lunch for you, Dad. (proper noun)
