tug-of-love her isn't a normal expression.
Tug-of-war is the game/sport where two teams pull each other by a rope to see who' strongest (https://goo.gl/images/S46kiH)
it is used to show a competition between to teams/people.
The writer here is changing it to show that they arent fighting agressively (as in "war")... rather they are competing for the love of Toto... to see which one Toto loves the most.
