FOR USE WITH PHOTOS OF THE YEAR -- MARY SCHWALM/Staff photo. Three Golden Retrievers look out from an SUV awaiting their owner at Smolak Farm in North Andover. As photographers, we often get sent out to find features to help fill space in the paper. They are often the most daunting of assignments given our large coverage area. You try to stockpile ideas so you have a hit when you need one, but there is nothing better than coming across a feature while on another assignment. Gold. Enter this carload of fun at Smolak. How can you not smile at these three snouts waiting for their owner! The guy in front, it's like he sniffs something good coming, and the other two are just keeping a vigilant watch. The photo makes me smile, and i hope it makes you smile too, certainly, we could all use a few more smiles these days. 4/27/12
