A but of an update: I managed to find a Wikipedia article about the book this particular survivor wrote about his ordeal, and it has the spelling of Cashoe's name in there. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

For context, I was rewatching episodes of I Shouldn't Be Alive, and I came across the episode "Alone in the Amazon." In it, the survivor says he had a dog with him, and he says that he named it Cashew because it was the "Indian" word for "dog." Which language he means by that isn't elaborated on, but I assume it's one of the indigenous languages from the Amazon rainforest, since that's where the story takes place. As for the dog's name, I have no idea how to spell it, but it's pronounced like Cashew. It's even spelled that way in the YMMV section on this very wiki. What do I do here?
