hunting through space and time
or perhaps "hunting in space and time".
A whole paragraph of context would be helpful. Also I wonder what sort of book this is - I assume it's fiction, but is it about a real dog chasing a real hare, or is it a figure of speech or something?
Anyway, I think it sounds better with space before time.

hunting in space over/across the time
of course there may be as many possible translations as you like in poetry and literature. I like mine, for example but it depends on the context if poetry or prose. Good luck!

"constantly on the lookout, the dog almost always catches (up) with the hare";
or:
"constantly alert, the dog almost always catches (up) with the hare"
"Space and time" may sound good in Italian, not so in English!!
