Re: Is there a .pet with all the man pages?
Do not think there ever was a pet for that.
man pages are left out of Puppy to save space.
The man command is actually a symlink to pman program, that tries to find the requested man page on the internet.
The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected 
Re: Is there a .pet with all the man pages?
There may not be but there should be because if you look at /var/packages/DISTRO_PKGS_SPCS, you'll notice that "docs" is an item that part of the package is to be split off into. I think for Warry, there were seperate docs packages available in the repos for a given package but I don't know if the tradition has been continued.
That said, if said docs packages don't exist One could create a script to generate them based on DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS.

I have a related post that may be of interest in the thread, "Re: How to use 'man' command in Puppy?".
