Chelsea FC manager Jose Mourinho has been arrested and cautioned after refusing to let police take away his pet dog.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said police and an animal welfare officer went to an address in central London at 7.45pm yesterday to assist with the seizure of a dog.
He said: "A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of obstructing police and was taken to a west London police station.
"He subsequently received a caution for obstructing police."
The newspaper said Mourinho had argued with officers as they tried to take his Yorkshire terrier away and put it into quarantine.
They believed it had travelled out of the UK and then back again without the correct injections.
Scotland Yard said the dog was to be seized for alleged offences under the Animal Health Act of 1981 and the Rabies Order of 1974.
The Sun reports Mourinho, 44, was at Chelsea's player of the year awards when his wife Tami telephoned to tell him his pet terrier was being taken away.
Mourinho arrived at his home at 9pm and the police spokesman said officers discussed the removal of the animal from the address with the owners.
However, the newspaper says the Chelsea manager angrily bundled the dog away from police.
It is now reported to be on the loose and efforts are being made to track down the dog.
