After noticing she had been drinking, the pair told her not to drive, but she appeared to ignore them and got into the driver’s seat, Manchester Magistrates Court heard.
Both men tried to stop Shaw, of Altrincham, from driving away by standing in front of her Audi TT, but she drove into them.
The father has since complained of an injury to his lower leg and has been prescribed codeine by his GP.
Shaw attempted to drive off again but was stopped when another member of the public opened her door and snatched the keys from the ignition.
After failing a roadside breath test she was taken to the police station where she provided a reading of 77mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath.
The legal limit is 35mg.
Pleading guilty to driving without due care and attention and driving when alcohol level is above the legal limit, Shaw’s case has been adjourned to allow for the preparation of a presentence report.
Outlining the facts of the case, prosecutor Richard Blackburn said the incident took place on August 14 of this year, when Shaw had parked up at the Altrincham Retail Park and had gone into B&M at around 5pm.
“Two witnesses, a father and son, noticed a dog in the back of the defendant's vehicle, no windows were open and the dog did appear to be distressed,” Mr Blackburn said.

“The father has since complained about an injury, there is damage to his lower leg and he has been to his GP for treatment - he was given codeine for a week.”
After being stopped and ‘detained’ by a member of the public, the police then arrived and conducted a roadside breath test, which she failed, the court was told.
She later undertook a breathalyser test, and the lowest reading was 77mg, it was said.
The court was told of another offence dating back to June 22 this year, wherein Shaw raised the suspicions of staff at one of the stores on the same retail park, for being under the influence of alcohol.
After suspecting she had been drinking, the staff member alerted the police, but by the time they arrived, Shaw was already driving out of the car park.
Despite pulling up alongside her and asking her to stop, Shaw continued driving onto George Richards Way.
When the road split into two lanes, officers then pulled alongside her and pulled her over, the court heard.
Officers described her to be ‘unsteady on her feet’.
After conducting a roadside breath test, she was taken into custody and blew a reading of 59mg.
In reply to finding out the reading, she said: “I don’t know how I have gone over, all I have had is codeine.”
Shaw was said to have previous convictions for drink driving in 2003 and 2010, as well as a conviction for producing cannabis in 2013.
In mitigation, her defence lawyer Victor Wozny told the court: “She admits she is an alcoholic, drink is a problem and she has problems with depression and anxiety.
“That is something for the court to take into account.

Adjourning sentencing, Judge Margaret McCormack told Shaw: “You have entered a guilty plea to two separate allegations of driving with a level of alcohol that exceeds the prescribed limit.

Shaw will next appear at Manchester Magistrates Court on November 25 for sentence.

King David High has had further cases, which we reported on last week, along with a confirmed case at King David Nursery, and at Woodhey High in Ramsbottom, Bury, the whole of Years 9 and 10 have been told to work at home until Friday.
It comes amid mounting pressure for schools to close as the country heads into another lockdown.

The government has insisted educational settings will remain open - a stance backed by the Children's Commissioner Anne Longfield, who says 'it would be a disaster for children's well-being and education if they were to close'.
However, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says they should shut for a 'true reset' in order to reap the 'full benefits of a national lockdown'.
We reported earlier today how he told Sky News: "Of course it’s difficult closing schools, but I think schools will be less disrupted if we get this real circuit break. To be honest, it’s not a proper circuit break unless we really do close everything."
What do you think about schools staying open? Do you want them to remain open, or would you rather they close? Let us know in the comments here.
Schools with confirmed cases during and after October half term break:
Birchfields Primary, Fallowfield - (Reception isolating for a second time)
Varna Community Primary, Openshaw - (Case confirmed, close contacts isolating)
St James' CE Primary, Gorton - (Cases confirmed, Years 1 and 5 isolating)
King David High, Manchester - (Cases confirmed)
King David Primary, Manchester - (Case confirmed in Nursery)
Firs Primary, Sale, Trafford - (Reception isolating)
St Edward's CE Primary, Rochdale - (Case confirmed Year 6)
BWJPS, Bury - (Nursery and Reception bubble isolating after positive case)
Woodhey High, Bury - (Cases confirmed, Years 9 and 10 home learning)
Stalyhill Junior School, Stalybridge, Tameside - (A Year 6 bubble isolating)
Mossley Hollins High, Ashton, Tameside - (Two cases confirmed)
Canon Burrows CE Primary, Ashton, Tameside - (Year 3)
Buckton Vale Primary, Stalybridge, Tameside - (Bubble closures)

The Prime Minister was asked why pubs can't sell takeaway booze and gyms have to close during the second lockdown.
Boris Johnson faced a grilling from MP's during Monday's address to the House of Commons, where the finer details of the new coronavirus restrictions were discussed.
He was asked by MP for Rugby Mark Pawsey if he was sure the cost to businesses is a price worth paying, and to reassure that it back to business as usual when the lockdown ends.
He also specifically asked why pubs can't sell takeaway beer to go with their food.
Mr Johnson replied: "I think the answer is again, there is a budget of measures to bring together to bring the R down.
"Once you start unpicking one bit, logically, a lot of the rest of it comes out. His fundamental question is the right one.
"I think the people in this country want to put human life first, they want to save as many lives as possible and that must be our overriding aim - that is our overriding aim.
"But we think that if we enforce these measures properly and if people self isolate if they are contacted in the way that they should, we should get the R number below one in the way I have described and we can have business able to open again and do Christmas business in so far as they can."
He was asked by MP James Sutherland if he would "reconsider guidance" on the closure of gyms, tennis and golf clubs given the "proven benefits of exercise" and the "lack of clear evidence that these activities have contributed to the R rate".
Mr Johnson replied that "once you unpick at one thing alas the effectiveness of the whole package is-is compromised.
"That's why I want everyone to work together for the next four weeks as I say to get the R under control so that we can open things up again in time for December.
Labour’s Kevan Jones (North Durham) called on the PM to publish the scientific data behind the decisions relating to sport. Local amateur football, he said, will not be able to continue, plus golf and gyms “are going to be closed despite their valiant efforts to ensure that they’re Covid safe”.
Mr Johnson said: “I’m happy to provide all the scientific data on which these decisions have been made.”
When pushed further on allowing outdoor activities and more support for indoor leisure facilities by MP Peter Aldous, the Prime Minister said "We will look at all the suggestions made and at any exceptions we can sensibly make but it is difficult to take out one part of the Jenga block without disturbing the whole package."
