Cynophacide (sigh-noff-uh-side)
Derived from the Greek "cyno" (dog) and the Latin suffix "cide" (to kill).
The act of a beloved domestic dog (most commonly a large, shadow-like breed) attempting to "neutralize" their owner by acting as a tactical trip-hazard. Usually occurs at the top of a staircase, in a dark hallway, or precisely when the owner is carrying hot liquids or heavy items.

I tried to bring a cup of tea upstairs, but my Shepherd did a brake-check right on the landing. It was a blatant attempt at cynophacide (sigh-noff-uh-side).
