More likely a woman that really can't drive a stick as the thing was hopping as she started out making the turn into the gateway and on top of that it looks like she has heels on which would make it even more difficult to drive. And then add in panic.
And maybe things like a cell, coffee, seat too close, woman driver could all add up to that happening. As I did not see some ugly hunk of fur bailing I think we can count out the poodle. :-laf
