WOrked unless it was buddy my old Marmaduke looking guy back in the '80's.
YOu'd try wrapping it in meat, etc.  DOg would find pill and extract it
from container, eat container. sInce wife at time and I were both blind I
told her to only administer meds to him in the kitchen since we could hear
pill hit the linoleum, wheras remainder of place was carpet.

IT always ended up with me astride dog from rear holding mouth shut after
inserting pill and rubbing throat vigorously.
