Mourinho's Dog Is Back In Portugal

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's now famous pet dog, the subject of a legal dispute, has gone back to Portugal, according to lawyers.

The Yorkshire terrier, called Leya, has been taken back to Portugal by Mourinho's wife Tami.

The Chelsea boss was arrested at his London home on Tuesday following claims that Leya had been brought into and out of Britain without observing the UK's quarantine rules.

Leya was reported to have gone missing at one stage, but Elizabeth Robinson, a lawyer for Mourinho's wife said it the terrier was now in Portugal.

She was quoted on Friday as saying: "With the full knowledge and assistance of the UK animal health and welfare authorities, the Mourinho family pet, Leya, has returned to Portugal with Mrs Mourinho this afternoon."

Mourinho was caught up in a row with police and animal health officials earlier in the week after they had tried to remove the dog from the family home.

The Portuguese tactician, who had been attending Chelsea's player of the year awards before being called home by his wife regarding the dog, had argued with police and was arrested on suspicion of obstructing officers.
