Skyscanner.net will tell you the airlines which fly that route and give you their timetable, and you can check that out - but the cheapies like RyanAir and EasyJet don't carry pets. I suspect that your best chance is with British Airways which will carry dogs in a container in the cargo hold. My neighbour brought a dog back from Hong Kong that way. Otherwise it will be leaving the dog in kennels in Portugal while you come home.

I have to say, that from all I've read on forums for those owning properties in Europe, it doesn't appear possible to fly into the UK when you have a pet travelling with you. Most people think it should be possible but then find it isn't and have to have a rethink. Many people (like us) have to drive there and back using either the tunnel or a pet-friendly cabin on a ferry, but the cabins book up very quickly once timetables are released.
However, if you do find anything different, then please come back as other people will definitely be interested.0 -
The handling company for dogs flying with British Airways and other major airlines looks to be Petairuk.com - they claim 295 destinations. It might be expensive !
