You only need to declare an entity inside a dtd if you are using a valid
document with an external dtd.  The easiest way is to make an entity
declaration in the top of your *.xml document.

That is becuase &amp; is one of four reserved entities that do not need
to be declared specifically to work.  The others are &lt; (less than <),
&gt; (greater than>) and I forgot the last one.
