We speak to a doctor who gives the medical perspective on the injuries, there's a poor helpless victim who had a bad experience with a rake and a college professor to give us some historical perspective on rakes. Other highlights include a SWAT team that responds to rake emergencies, a political activist who organizes protests to have rakes banned and a corporate spokesman for rake manufacturers eager to wash his hands of any responsibility.

Imagine if you did a series called Dogs Without Jobs, Dogs on the Dole, Homeless Dogs, Couch Potato Dogs.
