That is very much Secret Of Evermore. The robot and the dog are the same character, but you'll need to play through the game to understand why.
This game was an RPG on the SNES I played way back, can't recall the name. It started with a kid and his dog finding an alien craft and being beamed inside, to be greeted by (I think) a Mad Scientist. The game let you play as the kid, a robot or the dog (the dog part I'm not so sure, but it was three playable characters). It used the radial menu system (you press start and a circular menu appeared around your character) similar to the one on Secret Of Mana.
I know it's a tad bland, but that's all I got. Anyone?
