Romania struck a deal with the devil: If he manages to open the border, the first soul to cross it will be his. In good tradition, Romania sent a dog to cross first. (Could have also been a sheep or a raven).
Yep! It's a pan-European legend motif that a newly built bridge or doorway is crossed by an animal first so the devil (which helped build them) can take it. :D
