Hypothesis: At the time of his creation, Dummy was absolutly big enough to lift tony up

Evidence:

Here, I have drawn a crude wireframe over the above photo, to get in the rough placement/length of the limbs.

I then straightened out all the segments, so that both tony and dummy could achieve their full heights.

As you can see, Dummy’s full height far exceeds Tony’s, even with Dummy not stretched to his full height. (My canvas size was too small):

In conclusion: Dummy can and probably has scruffed baby MIT tony like an angry kitten when necessary/amusing.

Thank you for coming to my ted-talks

Alright fellow asshole giving people bot-feels:

Imagine that Tony “trains” Dum-E out of it, mostly by yelling and flailing but also by accidentally kicking Dum-E in his flailing and feeling so horrible about it that Dum-E decides not to put him in a position that he could possibly kick him again.

Fast forward twenty years and several villain attacks and suddenly someone attacks Tony in the workshop. There’s too much fire for Dum-E to put out with his extinguisher, and the armor can’t get to Tony because of falling debris. The villains are coming closer.

So Dum-E does the only thing he can think to do and grabs Tony by the collar and just flings him up over the flames, over the villains, and out the door to safety. JARVIS locks the doors but the villains are going after him anyway. So Dum-E does the same thing to them, too.

Except he flings them directly into the wall as hard as he can, instead.
