Maddie is like Abbey. She'll eat a pill right from your hand. I discovered this when the vet didn't want her eating anything but her prescribed dog food, due to her allergies. I normally would have put the pill in Cream Cheese, but couldn't during this time. I'd make a big show of giving her a treat. So much so that Murph was upset he wasn't getting one and would have to give him an actual treat. The vet seemed amazed by this, when she was on anti-botics, because those are suppose to be nasty tasting.
I think Oz would eat them from my hand too, although I haven't tried it on him. When he was neutered, he was on anti-botics in capsule form. I ran out of my trusty Cream Cheese, so I wrapped the pill in Swiss Cheese. Wrapped probably isn't the right word, since Swiss Cheese isn't exactly sticky, so it was more like a pill shoved between 2 pieces of cheese. He was as easily fooled as Maddie though. I made a big production of giving it to him and he didn't make any attempt to separate the pill from the cheese. He chomped on it without thought and a spray of white powder exploded out of his mouth, but he kept on happily chewing.
