It is refreshingly clear, though for someone not familiar with the ideas of Debian, Linux, Puppy, or bootable Linux CDs, it might be a bit confusing.

Moving this paragraph up the page would help:

DebianDog is a small Debian Live CD shaped to look like Puppy and act like Puppy. Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched and Debian documentation is 100% valid for DebianDog. You have access to all Debian repositories using apt-get or synaptic.

If I were rewriting that for a slightly broader audience:

DebianDog is a small bootable Linux OS disk image based on the Debian Live CD shaped to look and act like Puppy Linux.

Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched and Debian documentation is 100% valid for DebianDog. You have access to all Debian software repositories using apt-get or synaptic package management tools.

But yes, it's far better than most project/product descriptions I've seen.
