When a dog attacks a person, that dog has to go. No questions asked.
There are indeed questions to be asked when a dog attacks a person, did the person attack or hit the dog first? Was the person attacking a family member of the dog?
some people deserve to get bitten.
Keeping a dog on a leash on your porch is a strike on you as a dog owner.

Last week he attacked someone who walked up on our front porch where he is leashed up. It was someone working at the house and my wife (no pics) was right behind him.
I would never let my dogs be out while work is being done on the house. I have crates, and they will stay in there until the person leaves. Dogs are protective of their pack, no reason to put someone else at risk because I didn’t properly kennel them.

No need to put him down. He's just scared, and has to learn about trust. Being malnourished doesn't go away mentally. You've come this far. Give the guy some more time. Good luck

How do you admit your a pit bull owner without actually saying it?

Not sure what leashed up consists of, but could that have been a factor? He felt trapped etc? I had a very docile lab that was extremely protective of me when my husband wasn’t home.

good grief.
You've seen the warning signs, now you will bear the full guilt if your kids lip gets bit in half with permanent disfigurement.
be an adult and shoot the stupid thing in the head.

Dogs tend to not do well when leashed in an unfamiliar scenario but I do think it was protecting your wife. The suggestion about crating is the way to go. I have had rescues my entire adult life and every dog is different. If it showed aggression to a family member, especially a child, then a re-home may be necessary but these 2 situations seem specific.

It's happened twice.
Once should have been enough.
Put your animals away when work is being done.
I would consider rehoming him before something worse happens. There are people who will take animals that may not be family or stranger friendly.
The fact that he's that protective of your wife in particular would make me nervous around children.

Unfortunately, I’ve been through this exact scenario, and the results weren’t good. As a parent, you NEVER want to have to look back and say “I saw the signs and didn’t do anything.”. He was a blue heeler, and I did my best to try and re-home him, but ultimately, as a responsible parent of 3 kids, I had to make the hard, but right, decision to put him down. Don’t let your feelings get in the way of your logic. Don’t look back later with regret. Do it, and protect your wife and kids.

Are you financially and emotionally stable enough to absorb the fallout if/when the dog seriously injures or kills someone?
ETA: Keeping in mind that you are now on record, and you've probably talked to others in real life (along with the accounts of the two people who have been attacked), that the dog is known to be aggresive and has a history of attacking people.

How is he attacking people when he’s leashed up? Idiot worker must realize you can’t just march straight up into someone’s space, especially if the dog doesn’t know you. Some dogs are just more protective than others, we had one that would bark at any of us, especially at night if we got too close to mom.

The dog sounds as though its protecting your wife. Thats its job isn't it? When non primary family members are around put the dog up.
My dog dislikes children other than my son. Generally dislikes men. I dont allow him to be around other children, even my grandchildren, or other people in general because I know my dog. Hard to fathom killing a dog for being a dog. All dogs originated from wild dogs so therefore wildness will be present at times. Dogs are also generally protectors and defenders yet many dont want them to defend or protect unless called upon to. Not how it works generally. They do what they do. Know your dog and treat them accordingly based on that knowledge.
Reading this thread you'd think most feel we should exterminate the entire dog population. Thats nonsense seeing as though we haven't exterminated humans as of yet. We are far more harmful than they are. Do you kill a child that bites another or gets in a fight? The aggression is rooted in the same place.

euthanize the animal
attacking people is not instinct. This dog has aberrant behavior. The fact it has happened multiple times says it all.
This dog is dangerous to your kids and your wife let alone anyone not in your family circle.
pawning this dog off to anyone else is irresponsible.

I'd never blame my dog for protecting his home from strangers. When strangers (contractors, bug man) do need to come over I secure him.
Yup

Seriously?
Yes.
Even more so if there are children present.
Now, its obviously different if it is a break-in/robbery situation. But attacking people that are just visiting is a hard line in the sand.

There's a difference between a dog being protective of family and just attacking anything all out.
A dog's naturally going to bark at unknown people on it's property. If it's running up and biting ppl, it has to go. Just barking and establishing dominance? It's what they do.
Did he run up and attack and bite those ppl?
Also, why didn't you kennel it if you weren't sure how it would interact with strangers? That's on you if we're being honest.
