Thanks for that. It was a 'concept' site largely for my own amusement (and to teach myself a little bit of js). I do have a private portfolio site that shows more of my work and has no javascript in it at all.
Hmm, I kinda like it - and I tend to dislike sites that break conventions... its simple enough that it works really well for me.

What would be interesting is to detect the IP so that whenever the owners access the site, they see it normally, but others see it with the dog images. And put their email so visitors contact them telling them of the "vandalism", but when they access it, the site looks normal.
The problem with doing something like this is that the site owner will probably take it down within 24 hours.
However... if the site owner cannot see it. Well well well.. could be up for days.
Typically the first person to view the page will be the owner. They want to check everything looks alright. Would be interesting to see the results of something like this.
Did anyone take a screenshot of it?

Did you try to contact them? (By them, I mean the site owner. I feel like this is a solo operation) On other notes, there's no stopping you from replacing the content of this area where you tell your own version of their description: (from site via Google Translate) "We have been working since 1999, incorporating technology and knowledge towards the design and communication, both institutional and business."
I don't see why he should (if that is what you are implying), they didn't bother contacting him (apparently).
A little backstory: They stole my site (socketstudios.com) which showed up on my analytics as they for got to remove it. They also left the contolling javascript file on my server. I modified it to load images of dogs that have no idea what they are doing.
Tangent: these kind of sites (the site that was stolen from), I'll call them "concept" sites, make me want to throatpunch a baby. If you are seeking to demonstrate your jQuery/HTML5/CSS3 skillz then do it in a way that has some applicable context. Don't break so far from established usage conventions that users have to invest their the majority of their focus figuring out the site at the expense of examining the cont…
Made me wonder what would happen if some rogue Google engineer decided to replace the CDN hosted jQuery on thousands of sites with script to auto-play a rick-roll.
I've always wondered what would happen if a rogue MS employee slipped carefully-hidden malware into Windows Update. They could cause havoc.

I know you just said it doesn't really matter, but I thought I'd offer something a little more constructive than "it's too flashy".
