In February 2025, The Mountain Enterprise featured an article titled "Thunder rescue inspires author," highlighting local author Wayne Diehl's presentation at Adventure Ink Bookstore and Tearoom in Pine Mountain Club. During the event, Diehl discussed his novel "Thunder," which draws inspiration from the real-life rescue of a neglected dog named Thunder. The story explores the bond between a young girl and an elderly man brought together through their mutual concern for Thunder. Photographs accompanying the article include images of Thunder on the day of his rescue and Diehl engaging with attendees at the bookstore.
