{{cleanup|The "Literature" section mentions that there's a Trope Namer, but never actually says what the Trope Namer ''is''. Nor does the trope description. [[Small Reference Pools]] and [Pop Cultural Osmosis Failure]] strike again.}}
[[The Artful Dodger]] is like the [[Street Urchin]], except that instead of being [[The Woobie]] that makes you want to take him up in your arms and care for him, he seems perfectly happy to take care of himself. Oh, he'd ''let'' you take him home, just don't expect him to be there next morning. Or any of your valuables. In [[Real Life]], a child who lives on the streets experiences horrors most of us could not even imagine, but in some fictional works, a child on the street lives a happy-go-lucky life and practically thrives. ([[Deconstruction|Although this may just be a coping mechanism.]])
