For years, Porky the Pothole pig has been pointing out problems with East Dallas roads, with help from faithful Advocate photographer Robert Bunch. In the early days, Porky and Robert hit upon potholes street after street —but lately the roadways are smoother. Robert likes to think he and his sidekick sow have a little something to do with it. “The potholes are getting harder and harder to find. I like to think Porky and I have provided a service to the community in some way,” Robert says. It’s been a real pleasure working with Porky,” says Robert. “He’s a real pro.” Porky will continue to be on call, in case he’s needed again. Until then, semi-retirement will see him sipping potables, poolside.
