In the fiction story, Black Heart, Emily created and built a bond with Daniel and his dogs by making a deliberate attempt of enunciating in Spanish though it is challenging because they recently have moved in the vineyard in Argentina. She used a dictionary with her in order to communicate. She resisted her mother's order of proceeding to the dogs even after she warned her how violent and cruel the dogs were. She then vanquished her doubt and found new methods to get near them. Particularly Blackheart the ferocious dog.
