Andrew McDonough es un creador, escritor e ilustrador cuya narración comenzó con un simple talento para dibujar ovejas. Como joven estudiante de teología, se le pidió que diera una charla para niños y, utilizando una película de retroproyector, creó la historia de Cecil. La recepción positiva lo llevó a seguir desarrollando estas narrativas visuales para diversas audiencias. Antes de dedicarse por completo a Lost Sheep, McDonough sirvió como pastor en WestCare, una misión urbana enfocada en personas sin hogar, recuperación de adicciones y defensa de refugiados. Él sigue involucrado con WestCare y su objetivo es que sus historias inspiren a una generación dedicada a cuidar a los pobres a través de su fe.
