give a dog a pill?

so my parents OES is fond of getting her medication wrapped in a piece of cheese, white american if you please.. So this morning I had to give mega-pug a pill I tried the wrapped cheese, he carefully ate the cheese & left the pill on the floor. I tried breaking part a treat & making a pill "sandwich", again treat consumed pill left on the floor, then I tried smothering the pill in peanut butter-success plus it is amusing to watch him lick his snoot for the next five minutes
